Choose one of the four distances or and decide whether to walk, run, swim, cycle (or a combination of) to achieve your chosen mileage within 30 days.
You can either take part as an individual or as a team – family members, friends or colleagues and there’s no age limit! You don’t have to be together to undertake your mission, just log your miles as you go using our handy form found in this pack.
The distances have been chosen as they represent the miles between each of our three airbases:
Tatenhill to RAF Cosford: 27 miles – route helimed09
RAF Cosford to Strensham: 40 miles – route helimed03
Strensham to Tatenhill: 54 miles – route helimed06
Or you can take on the Helicopter Challenger, the full 121 miles, which is the distance between all three airbases as the helicopter flies.
If you raise £75 in donations as an individual, or £100 as a team, you will receive a medal to remember your achievement.
Once you’ve decided your distance and whether you’re taking part as an individual or as a team, if you haven’t done so already, you can sign up below
You will be assigned a team captain, who is a member of the aircrew, who will email you regularly with tips and advice throughout your challenge.
