The Challenge

Our Mission; To explore the great outdoors and raise £20,000 to support TRIBE Freedom Foundation to end modern slavery in the UK.

TRIBE Product and Merch

How will I receive the TRIBE bars for my event?
We will send out your TRIBE bars to the delivery address you provided, four working days before your event to make sure they arrive in plenty of time. The number of bars will be based on the number of registration donations you have received on your JustGiving page. If you are expecting a large number of late entries who may not be signed up by this point give us a shout and we’ll see what we can do :)

How will participants recieve their TRIBE tee?
To make sure that everyone receives their free TRIBE tee in the correct size we will send participants a code to redeem their T-shirt via the TRIBE website!

The Event

Will the TRIBE team join my event?
We'd love to join lots of the events throughout the Summer and hope we can make it to yours!

Is there a maximum number of event participants per event?
No! We'd love you to rally all your friends, family, work colleagues, club members etc - the more the merrier! Just one point to note - we envisage these being relaxed private events for family, friends, colleagues and run clubs etc, rather than public events.

Inevitably there may be slower participants so do look after your whole tribe. The most important thing is that everyone gets to the finish line safe, happy and together for a team celebration!

What’s the best way to share the photos from our event?
We would LOVE to see and share the photos from your events!! If you want us to repost and share your photos, make sure you tag @the_tribe_way @tribefreedomfoundation and use the hashtag #ForceofNatureChallenge.
