Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance has announced the return of its popular 100 Miles in October Challenge. The challenge invites participants of all ages and abilities to walk, run, swim, cycle, or hop their way to 100 miles throughout the month of October, all while raising vital funds for the charity’s life-saving service. 
The flexible, inclusive challenge can be completed from anywhere, at any time, making it ideal for individuals, families, or teams looking to improve their fitness and support a great cause. Participants can accumulate miles however they like throughout October.
Rosie Cornelius-Light, Fundraising Officer, said: “Last year, the event raised an incredible £31,223.76 and we’re hoping to take that success even further in 2025. With every mission costing approximately £3,500, every single pound raised makes such a difference, helping us to deliver critical care to those who need it the most. We cannot wait to see supporters come together, push themselves and join the 100 miles community!”
Participants are encouraged to join the challenge’s Facebook group to track progress, share milestones and cheer others on. Now in its third year, it’s free to sign up and once a participant’s fundraising page is activated, they receive a complimentary 100 Miles in October’ T-shirt. Those who complete the challenge and meet their fundraising goals will also earn a special finishers medal and be eligible for exciting fundraising rewards along the way.
