Other Outdoor Challenges 

As well as marathons, overseas challenges, cycle rides and skydives FSID promotes a whole host of other events, to cover every interest.

  • Triathlons
    For those of you who find a marathon is not tough enough this is ultimate three-part challenge. Click here to visit the official British Triathlon website, go to "Events" and discover the dates and locations of all the triathlons taking place this year throughout the UK. Then sign up to the one that attracts you most, let us know your choice, we will send you a fundraising pack, and just collect as much sponsorship as you can! (www.britishtriathlon.org)

  • UK Sponsored Walks
    If you prefer to pave your own way in the world you might want to organise your own sponsored walk for FSID.  For this we have the ideal site: www.ramblers.org.uk .  Here you can choose your own route anywhere in the UK .
    The site also includes forthcoming walking events in which you can take part.

  • Abseils
    If heights is your thing then look no further. 'Snowdonia Adventures' organises charity abseils where you pay a fee to take part and they take care of all the organisation, then you just raise what they can for FSID in sponsorship, and we can provide all the fundraising materials you need.
     Visit http://www.snowdonia-adventures.co.uk/events/abseil.html#cost for more information on booking your own charity abseil anywhere in the UK.

  • The Libyan Challenge
    Take part in the race of ultimate endurance and raise money for FSID at the same time. This race is a 190K non-stop, self-sufficient event with a 4 day time limit that takes place in the Akakus, a fascinating and beautiful UNESCO World Heritage site situated in the Sahara of southern Libya. Mandatory checkpoints and water points are situated every 15-20 kilometres and orientation is with a roadbook and handheld GPS (runner's personal equipment). Full details on the Libyan Challenge 2006 including an interactive satellite map of the course with great photographs are available on: www.libyanchallenge.com.

    There is an €1800 Euro race fee, which includes Paris-Ghat transfers, full medical and logistical support, pre- and post-race accommodation and repatriation insurance with Europ Assistance. 

  • Multi-day runs
