Colour Dash
We challenge you!
Face a fear or tick something off your ‘bucket list’. Jump from a plane at 10,000ft, abseil down a building or ride a zip wire at 100mph! Fancy getting muddy? Try the infamous Spartan Race obstacle course! Would you move a mountain for us? How about climbing one (or three), by taking part in the 3 Peaks Challenge!
Keech 10K
Run through the picturesque Chiltern Hills in our new 10K trail event, which starts and finishes in the beautiful Putteridge Bury estate. Trek India
Trek India
Celebrate 25 years of Keech Hospice Care with the experience of a lifetime by trekking across the beautiful region of Kerala in South India. You’ll trek in the Western Ghats from Munnar towards Periyar as we traverse across mountainous terrain, past lakes and through cardamom forests with the hope of spotting some local wildlife. We will spend the day with local school children, leaving a legacy of learning to be enjoyed, before returning home with memories to treasure forever. This once in a lifetime challenge promises an experience like no other.
Colour Dash 5K
This year we see the return of our fantastic Colour Dash event. Last year, over 500 participants took on the course and together raised more than £33,000. You can walk, dance or run this 5K; starting in a pristine white T-shirt, you will pass through the colour stations whilst being showered in colour by our bandits. By the end you’ll look like you have walked through a rainbow. If a 5K isn’t for you, then why not join one of our colour stations and be a colour Bandit.
We’ll support you too
We would love to hear from you if you have your own event in mind. We will support you from your initial idea right through to the end of your successful event. Please contact us for further information, to sign up, take part or to talk about your own ideas. Pub Quiz
