Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care is kicking off the new year by unveiling its 2026 fundraising challenge calendar – a packed programme of walks, runs, cycles, golf days and adrenalin-fuelled adventures designed to give supporters new challenges while raising vital funds for local hospice care services.

From scenic countryside routes to big-city experiences and high-energy activities, there are opportunities to get active, take on a challenge, and make a difference. Supporters can also choose to create their own personal challenge – whether that’s running a set number of miles each month, climbing a mountain or taking on a unique idea of their own – with the charity offering guidance and encouragement along the way.

With every step, pedal or leap, fundraisers will help ensure that specialist hospice care is there for local people and families when they need it most.

Highlights from the 2026 challenge calendar include:

· London Bridges Walk – Sunday 8 March

· Inflatable 5K (new) – Saturday 25 April

· Question of Sport – Thursday 30 April

· Skydives – 6 June & 18 July (or choose your own date)

· London to Brighton Cycle Ride – Sunday 13 September

· Chilterns 3 Peaks Challenge – Sunday 20 September

· Golf Day – Monday 19 October

· Strictly Come Hospice – From November

· Firewalk – Thursday 12 November

· Rudolph Run – Sunday 6 December

· Ultra and Open Challenges – Various dates

· Run for Charity (new) – Various dates

· Or do your own thing – your challenge, your way

Tracey Hancock, Director of Fundraising at Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care, says: “Every year we’re inspired by the incredible challenges our supporters take on and the passion they bring to fundraising.

"Our 2026 programme offers something for everyone – whether you want to walk, run, cycle, skydive or set your own personal goal. However you choose to get involved, your efforts will help ensure specialist hospice care is available for people who need it most within our community. We can’t wait to see what challenges local people will embrace in the year ahead.”
