Advantage Africa is a participating charity of the Peak District Challenge on 22-23 September 2017. This is a brilliant team event over the stunning Derbyshire Hills with four distances to choose from. They start with the 10km 'back before dark' run, followed by the 25km Copper Challenge (9 hour target, easier than the Yorkshire Three Peaks), get more challenging with the 50km Bronze event (harder than the Yorkshire Three Peaks), through Silver all the way to the 100km Gold Challenge (strictly for Bear Grylls types).

The cost starts at £19 for the 10k run. The £41 Copper Challenge includes a route guide, drinks and snacks at checkpoints, a supper on Saturday evening, T shirt and certificate. There’s no minimum sponsorship but we really hope you will raise as much as you can to transform the lives of vulnerable people in East Africa. Unlike the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in September, this event is not organised and run by Advantage Africa, but our good friends at SALVE International, with other small charities taking part.
