This year we’re aiming for our biggest ever turnout at The Orwell Challenge and we’d love you to be part of it!

Whether you’re a keen walker or looking for a fundraising opportunity, every person taking part helps make a difference. Organised by the Ipswich East Rotary Club, The Orwell Challenge is a fantastic day out for the whole family with routes from 3 to 25 miles – enjoy the beautiful Suffolk countryside and come together to support us.

The race will start and finish at Portman Road Stadium – home to Ipswich Town FC.

You will see runners heading down Duke Street, through Ipswich Waterfront and then along Cliff Lane. Continuing around the River Orwell, you will head to Wherstead Road, back along Grafton Way before reaching the big finish at the stadium.

Over 7,000 young people need the support of Inspire each year. We provide them with the tools and guidance to move away from an uncertain future, and empower them to discover their purpose, and fulfil their potential.

We believe every aspect of wellbeing, be it mental, physical, emotional, or social, is vital to make sure young people have the chance to take on life with confidence.

By signing up for this challenge, you’ll help us fund this vital support!

Entry Fee: Inspire will cover this cost on your behalf once registered with us.

Fundraise: We ask that you raise a minimum of £200 in sponsorship to support Inspire.

We’ll be kicking off the morning at 07:30 with refreshments in the clubhouse, followed by a shotgun start on the first 9 holes. Once you’ve had a chance to get into the swing of things, we’ll break for a tasty lunch before heading out for another 18 holes.

Along the way, there will be plenty of opportunities to win fantastic prizes!

The day will conclude by 18:00 after a BBQ dinner and a prize-giving ceremony, where prizes will be presented to the winners.
