Events Calendar 2020
This 2020 events calendar features our annual flagship WALK IT series and our unique 10k, Run The Night. We also have a range of other high-profile events such as Ride London, the Great North Swim and Tough Mudder to choose from.
If running, cycling, or jumping out of a plane isn’t your thing – don’t worry, there are lots of other ways you can get involved.
Whether you’re an old hand at fundraising or looking for a new challenge, the funds you raise will make a real difference to people living with Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis.
Join us to do something incredible this year!
ACHIEVE ITJoin us to do
Right now, over 300,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of. And the real number could be almost double that.
Because of the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding these conditions, thousands of people are suffering in silence.
But they are not alone.
Funds raised by amazing people like you mean we can help everyone affected by Crohn’s and Colitis. With that money, we’re working to improve diagnosis and treatment; to fund research into a cure; to raise awareness and to give people hope, comfort and confidence to live freer, fuller lives.
Every penny you raise could transform lives.
Help us be here for everyone affected by Crohn’s and Colitis
Whenever my hospital tells me that I’m starting a new drug, I’ll go straight to Crohn’s & Colitis UK. The research funded by this charity has led me to be treated with cutting edge medication, meaning that for now I have managed to avoid surgery to remove my entire colon.
Claire, living with Ulcerative Colitis
In 2017, Claire completed a 365-day running challenge.
May - July
Hit the streets, raise vital funds and walk with us. Whatever your ability, everyone is welcome at WALK IT. Step out with thousands of like-minded Crohn’s & Colitis UK supporters, who in 2019 helped to raise over £485,000. This year there will be eight city centre walks across Great Britain to raise vital funds and stand strong against stigma.
Walk with us at Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Plymouth and Swansea.
Registration will open in late January.

I ran for Crohn’s & Colitis UK to raise vital funds and awareness of these often hidden illnesses and break the stigma of talking about bowels!
Katy, London Marathon 2019
I ran the Great North Run last year with my wife Kirsty. We did it to raise funds and pay back for all the support we both received from Crohn’s & Colitis UK when we needed advice and details of how to cope.
