Will there be water at Trek 24?

Snack stops will be set up along the route for those taking part in the 24-mile and 24km distances.

We would also suggest bringing your own additional snacks if you are likely to feel hungry during the day.

Will there be toilets on route?

Toilets will be provided at the start line, the finish line and at rest stops.  There may also be additional public toilets open and available to use along the route.

Will the helicopter be landing at Trek 24?

Subject to taskings, our helicopter is scheduled to fly over and safely land at Trek 24 – Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. This exciting moment will give Trekkers a unique opportunity to see the aircraft up close, meet the crew, and ask plenty of questions.

Please note that final confirmation depends on operational requirements.

Can I bring my dog? 

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate dogs at this event due to the routes passing through land where there may be livestock present or wildlife protections in place. If you have a guide dog and would like to take part in Trek 24, please get in touch with our events team on  info@eaaa.org.uk.

What happens if I am too slow? 

If you become tired or injured and feel that you may be unable to complete the course in time, our course marshals may be able to provide a ‘boost’ along the route to ensure you are able to complete the event. We highly encourage following a training plan for this event to ensure you are physically prepared for the challenge. If you need to drop out at any point of the event, please ensure you make contact with our events team, contact information will be provided on the day.

Is there a suggested kit list?

Yes! This will be provided in the information pack sent to you and you can also find it here.

Why do I need to fundraise a minimum amount?

Your registration fee alone is not enough to cover your full event costs including your refreshments, toilet provision, medical support, coach travel and insurance. East Anglian Air Ambulance depends on the participants of Trek 24 reaching their minimum fundraising target in order to raise the vital funds needed to keep our helicopters flying.  If you are concerned about being able to commit to a fundraising target, please take a look at Ticket Option 2, whereby you can pay more for your ticket, and fundraise as much as you can.

Can I fundraise for another charity?

Trek 24 is organised by East Anglian Air Ambulance and is run by the Charity’s own staff and volunteers. Therefore, we ask that any participant taking part in this event raises sponsorship exclusively for East Anglian Air Ambulance.
