How about scaling one of the UK’s highest mountains in the dark? \nJoin our Sunrise Trek up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) as our experienced guides lead you on a trek through the night\, reaching the summit in time for sunrise.  This challenge will be a mental and physical test\, but we can promise the reward for completing it\, whilst raising money to support the families we care for\, is worth every step! \nWith very limited space available for this unique experience sign up today and do ‘summit’ amazing in 2025. Everything you need to know can be found in our event guide but please do get in touch if you have any questions. \nItinerary: \n\n\n\nArrival time\n02:04am approx.\n\n\nRegistration\n02:24am approx.\n\n\nWalk start time\n02:24am approx.\n\n\nSunrise time\n06:24am\n\n\nBreakfast\n09:14am approx.\n\n\nDeparture\n12.00pm approx.\n\n\n\nWhat’s included?\nThe event will be organised by SVL Adventures and led by SVL Adventures Mountain Leaders. All walkers will receive an invitation to a Trek Talk and Team Training Walk prior to the event\, the opportunity to book onto our organised transport\, a complimentary breakfast\, T-shirt and bespoke Sunrise Trek medal. \n‘Exciting\, thrilling\, humbling\, challenging – all at once! I feel like everything went perfectly’. \nWho you’re helping\nStaying up all night and then climbing a mountain is a tough ask for anyone – but for many of the families we support\, being awake all night is an all too common experience. Children like Imogen have complex medical conditions requiring 24 hour care\, and often parents are the only ones able to provide it. That’s why your support is so vital. \n‘I am awestruck withy the organisers\, the staff guides\, but also the people. It’s very inspirational!’ \nKey information\nWith your bravery\, courage and determination we are hoping to raise £20\,000 from the Sunrise Trek Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) challenge to support our work helping children with life-limiting conditions and their families. In order to do this we hope that each of you will commit to raising a minimum of £250. Those reaching this target will be rewarded with a beanie hat – a valuable item on the kit list! \nFinally tick this challenge off your bucket list\, whilst raising money for babies\, children and young people with life-limiting conditions. Places are limited\, so sign up today! \nThe event is open to ages 7+. Under 18s need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian. We ask that parents/guardians make a judgment on whether the younger children can cope with the lack of sleep & the energy levels required to complete the trek. \nPlease note that dogs are unable to join the Snowdon Sunrise Trek. \nIf you need any more information about the event or help with your fundraising please do not hesitate to contact the team at events@shootingstar.org.uk. \n‘Another excellent event by SSCH\, a phenomenal experience\, and to anyone interested I’d say do it\, do it\, do it’ URL:https://www.shootingstar.org.uk/event/sunrise-walk-snowdon-march/ LOCATION:Sunrise Trek Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)\, LL55 4UL CATEGORIES:Fundraising events,Walking ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.shootingstar.org.uk/app/uploads/2019/12/SnowdonSunriseTrek.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250323 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250325 DTSTAMP:20260423T052220 CREATED:20241202T101730Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241202T113112Z UID:71805-1742706000-1742792399@www.shootingstar.org.uk SUMMARY:Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon DESCRIPTION:Join #TeamShootingStar at the Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon in 2025 \nThe Start line sits on the front courtyard of Hampton Court Palace\, and your finishing line will be found in the stunning Palace Gardens.
