Join #TeamMyton for this fundraising challenge at no cost to you - while places last!
The Inflatable 5K is a fundraising challenge event in support of The Myton Hospices.
There is no entry fee to take part. Instead, participants are invited to raise funds through voluntary charitable donations, either through JustGiving or offline fundraising.
To help support the work of The Myton Hospices, we encourage participants to aim for the following fundraising targets:
- £50 per child place
- £75 per adult place
- £220 for a family of four (maximum of two adults)
- £270 for a family of five (maximum of two adults)
What you’ll receive...
Successful applicants will receive full event support, including:
- A Myton Inflatable 5K T-shirt (to be collected on the day)
- An official Inflatable 5K medal
- An event bib and entry pack (to be collected on the day)
- On-course refreshments
- Support from Myton’s Events Team
- Fundraising guidance and resources to help you smash your fundraising
Registration and fundraising...
As we are a charity, we warmly encourage all participants to support our work by fundraising through voluntary charitable donations.
To help build momentum with your fundraising, we encourage supporters to aim to raise around 50% of their suggested fundraising target by Friday 5 June 2026, and then continue fundraising towards their full target by the date of the event.
Because places are limited and paid for by The Myton Hospices, we do ask all participants to complete the registration process promptly, including setting up a fundraising page, so we can confirm that each place will be used.
Where registration steps are not completed, or where we are unable to confirm that a participant still intends to take part after follow-up, we may need to reallocate that place to another supporter.
If you have any question please get in touch by sending an email to ChallengeEvents@mytonhospice.org or calling 01926 838 838
