Access for disabled participants

Ultra Challenges welcome participants of all abilities who are confident in their ability to participate. 

While each challenge covers different terrain and landscapes, you can typically expect steep climbs and descents, the necessity to cross stiles, and uneven pathways subject to weather effects such as mud and dust.

Participants with mobility issues have completed ultra challenges in the past on crutches & wheelchairs, and those with sight loss can also participate with a guide. 

Ultra Challenges ask that anyone with accessibility concerns or questions contacts them to discuss their requirements.


The difference you can make

The money you raise helps Scope continue to create a fairer society. And provide vital support to disabled people and their families when it's needed most.

The cost of living crisis has hit disabled people the hardest. Many disabled people are being forced to make impossible choices. Choices between running life-saving equipment or eating.

At Scope we have three goals:

  1. Transform attitudes to disability, creating a society where everyone feels included.
  2. End the disability price tag so disabled people and their families have an equal standard of living as non-disabled people.
  3. Close the disability employment gap so everyone disabled person who wants to work, can.

By joining #TeamScope, you are joining our movement for change. Together, we’ll use our collective power to change attitudes and end the injustice. Together, we'll be unstoppable.

Please read the terms and conditions before registering.
