Stotfold Challenge

17/06/2026

🎉 Wow, wow, wow! 🎉

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that, thanks to everyone’s efforts, we raised an incredible £4,857 through this year’s Stotfold Challenge! We will split this between the DKMS charity and our beautiful Amelie’s go fund me page

This simply would not have been possible without the amazing support of our local community and sponsors.

A huge thank you to Stotfold Junior Football Club, who sponsored this year’s event as part of their 50th anniversary celebrations.

We’re also incredibly grateful to:

* John at Stonepoint for kindly lending us his van.
* Tesco Baldock and Fairfield Park for supporting us with fruit and water.
* Our fantastic cheerleaders, the Stotfold Twirlers, who kept spirits high throughout the day.
* Country Properties for their support.
* And, of course, Jo at the Stotfold News, who always champions our events, helps spread the word, and supported us with all our printing.
* of course ALL our amazing helpers - from our bbq team, to the Marshall’s, to everyone who helps spread the word!

We absolutely LOVE bringing this event to our community, and we’re already starting to think about next year! Thank you to everyone who took part, volunteered, donated, cheered, sponsored, and supported us along the way. We couldn’t do it without you. ❤️

See you at the next Stotfold Challenge!

We were incredibly lucky to have Tesco support our event with a generous donation of fruit! 🍎🍌🍇

Not all of it was used on the day, so we made sure to pay it forward by delivering the remaining fruit to the Need Project in Stotfold, where it could continue to help others in the community. 💛

Thank you to the ladies from ‘Ams Army’ who ran the Stotfold Challenge this weekend. They have very kindly donated lots of fresh fruit to us that we can pass on - THANK YOU!!!

A huge congratulations to yesterday’s fastest runners in each category!

Our fastest male runner was Richard Passey, who completed a 5K warm-up, checked out the route, and then went on to absolutely smash this year’s race with a winning time of 18 minutes and 46 seconds.

Our fastest female runner was Emma Turner, who finished the course in an impressive 22 minutes and 13 seconds.

Our fastest under-16 runner was Harry, crossing the line in 22 minutes and 11 seconds.

And a special shoutout goes to our best fancy dress winners, Mylo Green and Charlie Jones, who completed the course in unforgettable inflatable flamingo suits!

Best Marshall - Louise Wenn for bringing the Karaoke…. But Also gorgeous Leia for looking so cute for everyone!!

And finally most covered in Paint - Nic L who came back looking like a Smurf !!


Well done to all of you — you truly captured the spirit of the day. Amazing efforts all round, and we really hope to see you again next year.

Well, what a morning! Today is all about soaking it all in, but first we want to say a huge thank you to Stotfold Junior Football Club for sponsoring this morning’s event. This year marks their 50th anniversary, and this event was held to celebrate that milestone, so thank you so much for your support.

A massive thank you as well to all of our Marshalls who gave up their morning to help us. Without you, we simply couldn’t run events like this.

Thank you to our fantastic barbecue team for keeping everyone fed and fuelled for their runs, and of course to the staff from Pendleton for leading the warm-up this morning. Also, our Stotfold Twirler girls for doing such a fab job cheering everyone on ❤️💪

And finally, a very special thank you to our superstar guest, Amelie, who wasn’t feeling very well but still made the effort to pop by and support the event for a little while. It was so lovely to see you there, and we truly appreciated you coming along. Ams Army is ALL about you ❤️❤️❤️

We’ll update you soon with our fundraising total, but for now we just want to say thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves — and hopefully we’ll see you again next year!

If anybody would still like to donate to Amelie’s GoFundMe page, here is the link: https://gofund.me/c01843f70

We also have our DKMS swab kits and fundraising page too ❤️🙌🏼💪
