Team: Pawsome posse

Race the Sun South Downs 2026 · 25 April 2026 ·

Teams of four or two will be setting off at sunrise on this Triathlon-style adventure challenge aiming to finish before the sun sets! Teams will cycle, hike, and canoe with views of the breathtaking South Downs.

Story

We are part of a team taking on Race the Sun South Downs for children's charity Action Medical Research.

We are work colleagues and are going by the name of Pawsome Posse as we are both registered Veterinary Nurses. This challenge is well out of our comfort zones🙀

We will have to cycle 31 miles, then hike 10 miles and finally paddle 2 miles together on a double kayak! 😺

In April we will be setting off at sunrise to bike, hike and paddle around a challenging course in a race against the sun.

We are racing in aid of children's charity, Action Medical Research. They have spent over 70 years funding vital research to help defeat the diseases that devastate the lives of sick and disabled babies, children, and young people.

By supporting our team you will be helping to find ways to reduce premature birth, to support children facing a lifetime of challenges caused by disabilities, and to develop cutting-edge therapies for rare and incurable diseases.

Thank you so much for your support.
