Walk, Jog or Run: Challenge Yourself & Support PTSD Resolution

Are you a walker, jogger or runner looking for something new? In 2023 the Ultra Challenge Series is holding 14 unforgettable events, from coastal path walks to high endurance trail runs - and PTSD Resolution is proud to be a registered charity supporting veterans’ mental health

Founded in 2009, PTSD Resolution provides therapy for Forces ’ Veterans, Reservists and their families. Therapy is free, effective and delivered both promptly and locally through a UK-wide network of 200 therapists - with treatment also available online or by phone.

We are a ‘lean ’ operation with no salaried staff or assets, yet have had well over 3,500 referrals to date. Therapy is delivered across an average of six sessions, with 78% of cases seeing an improvement in reported symptoms. - For more see www.PTSDResolution.org(link not live)

The Ultra Challenge is a unique opportunity to combine fundraising with stunning British scenery - with events held across the UK from the Isle of Wight to the Lake District.

100,000 walkers, joggers & runners have taken part so far, and an impressive £40 million has been raised for charity. With 14 challenges, 3 distance options and a few 10km ‘tasters ’ there really is an option for everyone - and a big emphasis on fun.

Events are open to teams and/or individuals - of all ages, experience and fitness levels. As the Ultra Challenge team puts it : “No obstacles or mud pools, just wonderful British scenery, full support all the way, lots of food & drink, camaraderie, and your spirit, determination & sense of adventure!”

PTSD Resolution ambassador and fundraising superstar Tanya Hodges has already signed up for the ‘South Coast Ultra Challenge’ event in September. That’s a 100km (62 mile) hike from Eastbourne to Arundel - with a target of completing in less than 24 hours!

“I am putting myself through this arduous challenge (two marathons and an additional 10 miles) to raise funds for PTSD Resolution,” Tanya says, “who provide Veterans and their families with therapy for PTSD. Please give what you can to help our Veterans.”
