Ultra 4 Children - Albania 2027 invites runners and walkers to join forces with celebrated veterans Foxy (SAS: Who Dares Wins) and Woody (BBC: Danny Boy) on an extraordinary journey through the breathtaking Albanian Mountains. This unique event aims to raise funds for four cherished children's charities, offering participants a deeply rewarding experience. With only 250 spots available across three distances—100km over two days, 50km in one day, and a shorter 25km option—the Ultra 4 Children ensures an intimate community atmosphere. Participants will traverse stunning mountain landscapes before finishing at the Ionian Sea, where they’ll be greeted by supportive fellow runners. The registration fee of £450 includes flexible payment options, but participants must raise a minimum of £800 for their chosen charities prior to the event start date. This fundraising effort is crucial as it will directly benefit the four selected children’s organizations. Once registered, all in-country logistics are taken care of. Travel arrangements begin with flights into Tirana International Airport (TIA), where participants must arrive by 12:00 PM on September 2nd and depart after 3:00 PM on September 6th. Detailed flight information is available on the event website. Included in your registration are all ground transportation, hotel accommodations for those completing the longer distances, camping facilities (for the 100km route), a fully marked course with checkpoints, medical support throughout the journey, and professional therapist teams to ensure safety and comfort. Upon completion of each distance, participants will receive a beautifully crafted race medal. The event’s fundraising platform is seamlessly integrated into registration via Givestar, providing an easy-to-use interface for supporters to contribute directly towards your chosen charity goals. This ensures that every step taken during the Ultra 4 Children contributes not only to personal achievement but also to making a significant difference in children's lives across Albania and beyond. Join this inspiring event and become part of a community dedicated to both athletic challenge and meaningful philanthropy.
