Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance has announced the return of its 100 Miles in October Challenge.

The event, now in its second year, invites participants to support the life-saving service by 'moving' 100 miles throughout October.

Whether walking, running, cycling, swimming, or any other activity, everyone is welcome to join.

Participants can complete their miles at their own pace, anytime and anywhere.

Registration is free and comes with a complimentary T-shirt to wear while clocking up the miles.

There are also rewards and a special medal for those who meet their fundraising goals.

Last year, the challenge raised £21,829.03.

Tracy Bartram, DSAA communications manager, said: "Last year, we had hundreds of people join our 100 Miles in October Facebook Challenge Group and it became a brilliant hub of engagement between everyone that was taking part.

"There were messages of support for each other and photos uploaded daily of people walking, running, stepping, or cycling their miles throughout the month.

"We can’t wait to see and engage with our supporters as they smile their way through the month and we will be there every step of the way."

Participants can join now and access FAQs on the event at the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance website.

The challenge is a great opportunity to support the air ambulance service while staying active and having fun.

Whether you complete the distance alone or with friends, it promises to be an enjoyable experience.
