Almost 1,000 incredible people took part in the 25 Mile Challenge this October!
Our participants each walked, ran, swam, wheeled and some even windsurfed their 25 miles! It was an amazing journey and we were blown away by their commitment to getting active for Greenpeace, whilst raising funds to Protect What They Love.
Every single person, step and donation, will help us to defend forests, protect oceans, fight climate change and make a brighter future possible, at a time when it’s more critical than ever.
The fundraising pages close at midnight on Thursday 14th November. If you took part and are still collecting donations, you can log in here. We’ll announce how much has been raised overall soon!
The 25 Mile Challenge was people power in action! It’s only by coming together that we’ll be able to meet the huge challenges ahead – the spirit and enthusiasm shown by our fundraisers was a shining example of what humanity needs to do to protect our beautiful home. Your support means the world to us.
Please take a moment to enjoy the heartwarming quotes from a few of our fundraisers below.

Some lovely words from previous 25 Mile Challenge participants
“I liked the community spirit! I also really enjoyed being more active in the Facebook group with like minded people. It was great!”
Hattie
“Thanks Greenpeace for organising this. It’s a great way for members to join in, even if they can’t get to demonstrations or other volunteering activities. It’s something we can do right now on our doorstep, in our own time and at our own pace.”

“It’s been a great reason to get my family out for some fresh air and feels amazing that we’re doing something positive to help the world at the same time.”
