Join #TeamRaystede and take on the Cotswold Way Challenge to help injured and unwanted animals in need!

We've partnered with the Ultra Challenge Series to offer you the chance to complete this challenge at your own pace on 12th or 13th June.

The Cotswold Way Challenge invites you to walk, jog or run a distance of your choice, along a signed route, with free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage.

Join over 2,500 challengers setting out from basecamp in Cirencester in the heart of the Cotswolds. Enjoy rolling hills, charming villages, footpaths and stunning views, all at your own pace.

With 100km, 75km, 50km, 25km and 10 mile challenge options available, there's a challenge here for everyone, and you can join as an individual or as a team with friends, family or colleagues.

This is a test of spirit and determination, and a great way to achieve something really special for Raystede's animals.

So, join #TeamRaystede and together we can help vulnerable animals to find the care and love they deserve.
