Louise Prashad, Corporate Partnership Executive at Special Olympics GB, said: “We’ve seen huge interest in challenge events and fundraising opportunities from the Special Olympics GB family in recent months, so we wanted to make it as easy as possible to get involved.

“Already this year, we’ve had supporters take part in events like the Saucony London 10K, raising thousands of pounds to help people with intellectual disabilities continue transforming their lives through sport.

“We’re really looking forward to delivering this first year of events and can’t wait to support our fundraisers on their 2026 challenges.”
