My 2026 Endurance Challenge for Wigan and Leigh Hospice

andrew Farrall is raising money for Wigan and Leigh Hospice

Running three if UK hardest and more Inbetween

We provide specialist end-of-life care, and a wide range of support services, to over 1,200 people who are living with a life-limiting illness in the Wigan Borough. Many patients are cared for in their own homes, although we also care for people living in care homes and in our In-Patient Unit.

Story

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ My 2026 Endurance Challenge πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

This year I’m taking on three of the UK’s toughest endurance races to push my limits and raise money for Wigan & Leigh Hospice β€” a charity that provides incredible care, comfort and support to people with life-limiting illness and their families. Care like this can’t be taken for granted, and it’s the support from donations that keeps it going.

πŸ… The Big Ones

πŸ”₯ Chester 100 β€” 18th April

A tough 100-mile test of endurance, grit and strategy.

πŸ”₯ Lakelands 100 β€” 24th July

One of the UK’s most demanding ultras with over 6,000 m of elevation through the Lakes.

πŸ”₯ Cheshire Ring Ultra β€” 26th September

A classic long run with rolling terrain and big miles.

These races aren’t just long β€” they’re mentally and physically brutal, and I’m doing them to make every mile count for charity.

πŸ“… Other Events in My Journey

Here’s a snapshot of other races and milestones on the calendar this year:

β€’ 10 Jan – Bowland Half Marathon

β€’ 17 Jan – Lakeland Recce

β€’ 24 Jan – Neon Night Run X Shredfest (VIP Experience – The Dome, Manchester)

β€’ 31 Jan – Running Show

β€’ 14 Feb – Amblezarke Amble

β€’ 28 Feb – Chester 50

β€’ 25 Apr – Calderdale Way Ultra

β€’ 7 Jun – Protein Rebel Festival

These events are all part of my training, prep and build-up to the big 100s β€” and I’ll be sharing it all here.

πŸ’› Why I’m Raising Money

Wigan & Leigh Hospice provides specialist palliative care, pain and symptom management, emotional and practical support for patients and their families at a time when it matters most. They make sure people live the best quality of life possible β€” and that families don’t go through it alone. Your donation helps keep that care free for those who need it.

Every pound really counts.
