We're humbled at the generosity our event has enjoyed since we started in 2017. We've enjoyed donations to the event from people who just want to give and donations are very welcome but taking cash from people isn't always possible. As an alternative solution we have created a donations page which you can access by clicking the badge above. Thank you for your support.

Why Orange Helmet Events?
Wiltshire based Robin-Mark Schols has organised the Hilly Helmet Challenge to raise money for the charity Brain Tumour Support.
The cause is one close to Robin’s heart after undergoing surgery to remove a frontal lobe meningioma, a type of brain tumour, the size of a satsuma in 2009.
Following a major brain infection in 2015, after much convalescing Robin was allowed to run but had to wear a helmet. At races fellow runners would ask “What’s it like running in a helmet?” Robin took this on board, answering maybe he could find a way for those asking to find out for themselves and The Hilly Helmet Challenge was born.
