Simply click the 'SIGN UP NOW' button above to register. 

Joining the challenge is free, and there’s no set minimum fundraising requirement. We just ask that you do your best to support the DofE charity and help make a difference for more young people. 

Absolutely.  Anyone can sign up and take part in the challenge.  We need as many people as possible to get out and be active this March, whether completing the challenge solo or with family and friends.

There's no age restriction to participate in the challenge, but to join the challenge Facebook Group, participants must be over the age of 18.

Yes of course, the more the merrier!

When you register for the challenge, you'll have the option to set up a team. You'll be asked to choose a team name, and a link will be provided that you can share with everyone you'd like to join your team. When someone joins your team, their fundraising page will be linked to the team page so that you can fundraise together. 

Please note that everyone in you team will need to register individually so their miles can be tracked and we can to send them their free t-shirt. 

The DofE is for everyone because we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive.  However, many young people who face marginalisation - who could gain the most from doing the DofE - are unable to take part due to financial constraints or because they need specialist support to take part.

By taking part in the challenge and raising vital funds for the DofE, we can ensure no young person is left behind and those who could benefit the most get the opportunity to start their DofE journey and unlock their full potential.

To complete the challenge, walk, wheel, or run a total of 120 miles anytime between 1 - 31 March. Where and when you complete your miles is entirely up to you. For example, you could run a certain number of miles each day or do a longer walk, run, or cycle at the weekends.
 
If you'd like to complete some of your miles indoors, like at the gym, that counts too!  The important thing is that you reach a total distance of 120 miles by the end of March. You can track your miles on your fundraising page which automaticaly created when you register. 

Don’t worry, you’ve got this!

When you register for the challenge you'll automatically receive a personal fundraising page.  Your page will track donations and display the number of miles you've completed.  You'll be able to link to fitness apps like Fitbit and Strava.  If you don't use a fitness app, or the one you use isn't compatible, you can manually enter your miles .

Additionally, we'll send a paper step tracker to everyone who registers, which you can fill out at home.

You'll get a free Do it 4 Youth t-shirt when you register for the challenge.  This should arrive approimately two weeks after you've completed your registration.

If you complete the challenge by the 31 March and fundraise £50 or more for the DofE charity (excluding Gift Aid), you'll also receive an exclusive Do it 4 Youth pin badge.  This will be posted out from 1 April 2025, once the challenge has finished.

The easiest way to fundraise is through your online fundraising page, which you'll receive automatically when you register. Simply share the link to your page and ask people to sponsor you to complete the challenge. You can personalise your page with a photo, details about you and why you're taking part, and easily share it via social media or email.  You can also add a personal donation to your page if you wish. 

If you receive offline donations (e.g. cash), make sure to log them as 'offline donations' on your fundraising page so they count towards your total.
