We need YOU to support our biggest fundraising event of the year, London's most popular 'urban triathlon'! 

Guy's Urban Challenge is an urban triathlon taking place in Central London at Guy's Hospital on Saturday 28th September 2019. Participants who are fundraising on the day will run, spin and climb their way up the 29 floors of Guy's Hospital tower, the tallest hopsital tower in Europe!

When: 8.30 am - 4pm Saturday 28th September 2019

Where: Guy's Hospital, London Bridge

Why: To support an amazing cause whilst having fun!

We have nearly 300 people taking part, all of whom are raising vital funds for Guy's & St Thomas' Hospital and Evelina London Children's Hospital which will be used to provide life-saving equipment, life-changing research and all the home comforts that make hospital a less scary place for all of our patients. 

We need as many volunteers as possible to make this day a huge success and to maximise the funds we raise for our wonderful hospitals. Roles on the day will include anything from marshalling the race route, manning the watt bike station or cheering on runners as they climb the 29 floors of Guy’s tower! So, if the thought of taking part in a triathlon sends you racing in the other direction, or if you're a mean multi-tasker or a dab hand at marshalling, WE NEED YOU! 

Roles are varied, times are flexible and fun is guaranteed! T- shirts and refreshments will be provided. Please click Apply online if you or any of your friends/family would like to come along and support this fantastic event and wonderful cause!
