Our popular River-Raft Challenges are back for 2024 and work is well under way to make them bigger and better than ever!! A fun-filled, action packed day full of thrills, splashes and lots of laughter.

Enter as a team of 4* in your best (or worst) fancy dress and arm yourselves with water pistols as you prepare to take on the River-Raft Challenge. Your team will be provided with an inflatable boat, paddles, and buoyancy aids to keep you safe on the water. Launch your raft and paddle your way to victory along your local river.

After you complete your River-Raft Challenge you’ll enjoy a free BBQ along with prizes for fancy dress, highest sponsorship raised, best team name and more.
