New challenges for 2026

Need some motivation to keep up with your new year’s resolution, or just fancy taking on a new challenge this year? Look no further! We have loads of opportunities for you to get involved with throughout 2026!

We already have more than 50 fundraisers signed up to take part in challenges this year, and we want to make 2026 our biggest and most exciting fundraising year ever! 

Join #TeamAPP and be part of our incredible fundraising community.

Runners

We have places available in the iconic Great North Run in September, the Great Birmingham 10k on 3rd May, the picturesque Royal Parks Half in October, Northern Ireland’s amazing Hillsborough running festival in July, or help us celebrate the opening of the UK’s newest MBU in Chester by taking on a 10k or half marathon in the historic city.

Or perhaps you could mark International Women’s Day on 8th March by joining a friendly all female 5 or 10k in London or Manchester as part of the Women’s Run Series.

If none of these are quite right for you, don’t worry!  We have access to places in hundreds of other events all over the country - find the one for you here or email Fliss to get some inspiration.

Walkers

Perhaps 2026 is the year you take on an epic ultra walk challenge?  APP is now registered with UltraChallenge so you can access some incredible events like the Jurassic Coast 100k walk, London to Brighton, the Lake District or or North Yorks Ultra Walks… Find out more about all these and more here (remember to select APP as your charity when you register).

Or if you're in Scotland, how about taking part in one of the amazing Kiltwalk events which take place in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen?

Swimmers

You could be part of the Great North Swim in beautiful Lake Windermere this June - with distances ranging from 0.5miles to 10km, there’s something for everyone. 

A team from South West Yorks Perinatal Team took part for APP last year and had a fabulous time!

Something different?

How about an obstacle course this year? We can get places in fabulous inflatable obstacle courses right across the UK; as well as Toughmudders for those looking for an even bigger (muddier!) challenge!

Or for the bravest, we can even organise bungee jumps and skydives! Get in touch with Fliss for more info.

Whatever you're thinking about, let us know and we can help find exactly the right event for you - from 2.5k to 100k, right across the UK and even overseas - and throughout the year.  We'll do our best to match you with your perfect challenge!

Fundraising through events like these makes a huge difference to the work APP does - last year challenge event fundraising helped us be able to train new peer support volunteers, provide vital information booklets to MBUs, and offer life changing, life saving peer support to hundreds of families affected by postpartum psychosis. Plus event fundraising helps to raise awareness of PP.  We're so grateful to all our fundraisers, and all those that support them. Every event and every donation really does make a difference.
