We know that life can sometimes be incredibly tough. Thanks to the dedication of more than 20,000 volunteers, Samaritans can be there for anyone, whatever they are going through and whenever they are struggling to cope. We’re also at the heart of local communities, working with schools, workplaces, railways, prisons and hospitals to offer training and support, preventing suicide and helping people turn their lives around.

Our life-saving work wouldn’t be possible without the extraordinary generosity of our event participants.

Why a virtual challenge?

As restrictions stay in place a little longer than we expected, this is the perfect chance to get out and about exercising as well as raising funds for a great cause.

What's sort of challenge can you do?

There are six challenges to get involved in, each rewarding you with a different medal to add to your collection.

• Virtual Halloween Run
• Virtual Santa Dash
• The Virtual New Year Run
• Virtual Valentine's Day Run
• Virtual Easter Run
• Virtual Charity Challenge
