The Warriors Challenge 2022 builds on the success of the 2021 event which saw 20 retiring rugby league players come together and raise funds for Rugby League Cares.

In 2022 a similar group of transitioning players and former match officials will be undertaking a hiking and kayaking Challenge in the Lake District. They hope to complete this task in under 12 hours and exceed last years fundraising target of £5205, whilst simultaneously renewing friendships and sharing their unique experiences of transition.

Rugby League Cares is an independent charity that touches on the lives of people involved at every level of the sport. We support players at the end of their careers, providing education and training grants that will equip them with the skills and qualifications needed for life after rugby.

RL Cares champions the sport’s heritage and is opening the sport’s first-ever National Museum of Rugby League. We promote mental fitness and healthy lifestyle initiatives that are changing and saving lives.
