Challenge events

RNC and its sister charity Blindcare can sometimes access sponsored places in national challenge events around the UK. During our 150th anniversary year (2022), our former Principal, Sheila Tallon, along with her husband Bill and friend of the College, Andrew Davis, took on the iconic RideLondon 100. You can read about their experience below.

In 2019, a group 'Pedal to Hereford' bike ride from Southampton was completed in memory of Gordon Stephens MBE, who studied at the College in the 1940s and 1950s and whom Stephens Hall is named after. Robin Stephens, Gordon's son, organised the 160 mile cycle challenge and roped in a group of friends and family to keep him company. It was a huge challenge and Robin and friends raised a phenomenal £3,800 for the College. When the group arrived at the finish line in front of Stephens Hall, they were cheered on to campus by staff and students.




If you have an idea for a challenge, please get in touch with the fundraising team to discuss further and watch this space for future challenge events you can get involved in via the College, for example, Spinathons or Danceathons at thePoint4. In the meantime, you can take inspiration from some of these wonderful people:
