The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileThe Doko Challenge is excited to be returning in 2021!
This unique 5km race will see runners lacing up their Gurkha boots, pulling on a Nepali Doko basket, and taking on the Bravest of the Brave.
Based on the traditional Gurkha recruitment race, this 5km run takes place through the beautiful yet arduous terrain on Wimbledon and Putney Commons on Sunday 6th June 2021 and sees participants choose from an option of three weights to carry along the route in their Doko Baskets- 5kg, 10kg, and 15kg. Just to make it a dash more difficult, we're challenging you to beat the Gurkha recruitment time of 46 minutes!
Whether the time is beaten or not, a deliciously chilled Kukri Beer will be waiting for you at the finish line along with your well-earnt medal!
