Charity Challenges

Fancy doing something a bit different for charity, and getting a great experience into the bargain?

Then raising money for Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust with a charity challenge from Classic Tours could be the thing for you!

Classic Tours offer three main types of Challenge:

Bespoke Challenges include treks, cycle rides, mountain climbs, horse and camel rides, dog sleds, runs, car rallies and motorbike rides. They take place in countries as diverse as Brazil, China, Ecuador, India, Jordan, Peru, Russia, Tibet and Vietnam. There are three different difficulty levels, ensuring there really is something for everyone.

Open Challenges are fundraising events which allow you to raise funds for ANY charity giving you greater choice. They have a range of inspirational Open Challenges including trekking along the Great Wall of China, camping along the Inca Trail, scaling Mount Kilimanjaro or cycling from London to Paris.

Corporate Challenges can be in the UK or abroad, and are run like Open Challenges allowing each employee to raise funds for their chosen cause, or corporately for the company's chosen charity.
