Run, Walk, or Cycle 104 Miles in June
The 104 Challenge is back for 2023 and we hope you are ready for the challenge! We need you to run, walk, or cycle 104 miles during the month of June. Whether you’re an avid runner, enjoy a stroll with the dog or want to increase your daily steps, this challenge is for you.
This is your challenge, your way! So you can take it on as a solo mission, get together with friends or even get your work colleagues involved to create some healthy competition. Achieve 104 miles individually or achieve 104 miles together as a team – the choice is yours.
Bike for Hire
The year also sees the return of The Haven’s static bike for hire. If you are a business and would like to hire our bike for you and your colleagues to clock up your 104 miles in the workplace then just email us at give@havenrefuge.org.uk to arrange to book our bike.
We have lots of fun and exciting ways you can make the challenge your own and we are more than happy to help you tailor the event to meet the needs of you and your team. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch and set the wheels in motion (pun absolutely intended!)
Wolverhampton Rotary’s Best Foot Forward – in aid of The Haven
We are delighted to have been selected as one of the chosen charities for this years’ Best Foot Forward event at Aldersley Stadium. This falls as the PERFECT finale event to our 104 challenge and we need YOU to join us and help us to clock up as many laps as possible to release funds from the pot to ensure The Haven can support more women and children from domestic abuse. Whether you only have 10 minutes spare, or you want to walk 104 laps as part of the month-long challenge – every step counts. Click here to find out more or sign up!
