First organised in 1985 this year represents the 27th anniversary of AMYA’s Challenge. In that time it has raised in excess of £1 million for charitable causes. Last year, the event consisted of a 10km walk or run in Leamington Spa. More than 800 young British Muslims attended and many more helped to raise £138,000 for the supported charities.

This year the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association UK is celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the Charity Challenge will be held around the Tower of London. The final route will again be a 10km run or walk. The key aim is to ensure that the event is bigger and better than before.
