Sponsored challenge and sporting events
Whether you enjoy running, walking, and cycling – or just fancy trying something new – taking part in a sponsored challenge and sporting event is a great way to support Henshaws and try something new or tick that challenge off your bucket list!
How can I take part?
First, choose your event that you’d like to take part in – there’s plenty to choose from with a great atmosphere and many different sports to try. If you have a sponsored challenge of your own that you’d like to do instead, just let us know! We’ve put together just a few of the many different challenge and sports events that you could get involved with; a full list of events is below.
You may have to register on the website of the event you’re signing up for, but check with us first as we have allocated places for events like the London Marathon and Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge that we’d love to offer you.
For some events, there is typically a registration fee.
