This spring, the Guncast Pools and KLAFS UK Wellness team is stepping up to a major challenge for a great cause.

On 25th April 2026, team Guncast and KLAFS UK from across the business will take on Race the Sun South Downs 2026, an endurance event set against the dramatic clifftops of the iconic Seven Sisters on England’s south coast. The Team will bike, hike and paddle their way across the landscape, racing not just each other, but the clock.

So why this event?

For us, it’s a local charity in aid of Action Medical Research for Children. It is a meaningful charity close to our hearts, and it allows us to reignite a tradition we’ve always valued: completing a team challenge in support of charity. Taking part in this event, also reflects the wider ethos of the Kohler family of brands, including the KLAFS Group, to which Guncast belongs, a commitment to giving back and supporting community initiatives.

Our goal is to raise £6,000, and we’re proud to have a cross departmental team taking part including Dave Williams our Residential Operations Director, Russell Landy our Commercial and Financial Director, Beth Luckett Sales and Marketing Executive, George Willis our Design Project Manager and leading from the front is our CEO of KLAFS UK (Guncast Pools and Wellness) Andy Carr.

We’re also thrilled to say that Jack Harding, original owner of Guncast, is joining the team for this special challenge.

Together, we’re ready to push ourselves, support a great cause, and make this a standout moment for Guncast and the KLAFS group in 2026.
