Choose from over 750 events, search by region or pick from our spotlight events taking place in 2024 below. Every pound you raise will support our mission to combat online child sexual abuse.

However, if you have a place in an event already and would like to raise money for IWF, you can set up a fundraising page using JustGiving. All our runners, walkers, swimmers, obstacle racers and bungee jumpers will receive support from our dedicated fundraising team. However you choose to support IWF, we’ll be cheering you on to complete your challenge and smash your fundraising target!
