Hilly Helmet Challenge 2025

Join the Hilly Helmet Challenge 2025

A multi terrain run, with fancy dress and fun, family evening whilst raising vital funds.

Join us for the always friendly and fun Hilly Helmet Challenge, organised by brain tumour survivor Robin Mark Schols specifically to raise funds for Brain Tumour Support and now in its ninth year.

Hilly Helmet rides again at Leighton Recreation Centre, Westbury on 6th August 2025 starting promptly at 7pm. This always popular event has now gained a third ‘Runners Rated’ Racecheck award after the 2024 event.

The race awards prizes to the first male and female finishers and there’s also a prize for the best helmet worn to take part on the night. We love to see you getting creative and as this year is the number nine, we’re hoping the nine lives of Hilly Helmet will get your creative juices flowing to put you in with a chance of walking away with the much coveted Best Helmet prize.

Every participant will also receive one of the event’s unique pottery mementos which are handmade specially for the Hilly Helmet Challenge, with a different design each year.

Westbury Cricket Club will once again be offering refreshments for the event, along with a BBQ.
