Climb Kilimanjaro. Wherever you are.
This September, take on Africa’s highest mountain without needing to board a flight to Tanzania.
Walk, run, hike, cycle or swim your way to the summit of Kilimanjaro as an individual or as part of a team. While our in-person challenge team tackles the mountain for real, you’ll complete your own virtual journey alongside them.
Every kilometre you complete will take you closer to the summit, and every pound you raise will help Northampton Saints Foundation inspire, support and educate young people across Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes.
Whether you’re looking for a personal fitness goal, a team-building challenge or a memorable way to support a local charity, this is your chance to do something extraordinary.
