Make your challenge count for more

Outward Bound is here to help young people grow through adventure.

Every year, we work with over 25,000 young people across the UK – taking them into the wild to discover their strengths, build confidence and find new direction.

This isn’t just about finishing a race or reaching the summit. It’s about backing the next generation to take their next step. When you fundraise for Outward Bound, you’re helping young people who are struggling to find their way – to step outside, try something new and realise what they’re capable of.

What the team says

It felt like being a part of the family. It was great being able to speak directly to and support other runners on the team whilst we were all training. I'm sure lots of us will keep in contact moving forwards.
