Join us! We want to form a large team of people to do the Rough Runner 10k obstacle course in Edinburgh and raise funds for Urban Uprising. Anyone can join the team, the bigger the better. 10am, Sunday 18th August.

It's a hard life for many young people today. Poverty and poor mental health, coupled with diminishing services has meant the demand for Urban Uprising’s programmes is greater than we can currently meet financially.

We have done some great work with the limited resources we have, inspiring and elevating young people. However we have the potential to do so much more. The money raised will help us run more sessions and reach more at-risk young people. 

“Climbing made me feel accomplished” – Tallia

“It is great to see the children’s confidence in themselves grow week by week. The Volunteer Coach was great in connecting with the kids and helped them work on their resilience. When reflecting on the programme with my pupils, they told me they can feel a change in their fitness levels, their resilience and their self esteem” – Mrs Wilson, School Teacher

This fundraising challenge gives you a chance to be part of the solution.

Here is what you need to know:

• Anyone can join the team.
• Not everyone in the team will be fit or even near fit, so don't let that be a barrier.
• This is a fun challenge, not a race, walking is fine and distancing yourself from the group is fine.
• You can choose to recoup the cost of the ticket through the funds you raise if cost is a barrier.
• You could choose to do the 5k if you think you couldn't do the 10k.
• Tickets are £58. Sunday tickets are cheaper so we are doing it that day. 
• Get 10% discount if you book 3 or more tickets. Add word 'TEAM' in discount code box. 
• Try these codes (last we checked they were still active): 20% off = 'RR20' or 10% off = 'RR10'
• I requested we start in the middle of the day. We find out exact time nearer the day.
• Our registered team name is 'Urban Uprising' 
• We will be arranging car pooling to make it easy and cheap to get there. 
• At the end of the race there are hot showers and we will meet in the bar tent for a drink!
