I’m thrilled to see this challenge come to life and the opportunity to raise vital funding to support the work of Off the Record and Mentoring Plus.

After several years of struggling with chronic fatigue, I am bored of it! I’m trying to get out and about and move more. So I have signed up for the Big BaNES 100k challenge.
— Jemma, 2024 participant who raised over £1,000

Our flexible fundraiser is back for Summer 2026. You can run, walk, cycle, swim or paddle your way to 100km. Enter as a team or do it solo. This challenge runs until September 30th. Do it in bitesize chunks or smash it in a weekend.

We are delighted to be partnering once again with Mentoring Plus, the Bath 5K map, Bathscape and Walk Bath. The Big BaNES 100k encourages you to explore your local landscape and connect with others whilst fundraising for two leading youth charities in Bath & North East Somerset.

Every £10 raised makes a difference. This pays for a 20 minute listening support session with an OTR volunteer, or travel expenses for a Mentoring Plus volunteer to take a young person on an activity of the their choice. Thank you for your support.
