Without the EAAA crew that day, Steve would not have met our two youngest grandchildren. We are both now EAAA volunteers. It is our way of giving a little something back to the charity that gave everything back to us. We hope that the people of Bedfordshire will get behind East Anglian Air Ambulance’s Trek 24 this April to support this life-saving charity.

All participants MUST bring their own reusable water bottle. There will be opportunities to refill it at various points along the route.  You may wish to wear a hydration/camel pack however, this is not essential.

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.

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 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.

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.
