E.J. Churchill Shooting Ground

Park Lane, Lane End, Stokenchurch, High Wycombe HP14 3NS

When is it? 14th April 2019. You will need to arrive an hour before your start time to complete registration. During registration you’ll receive a safety briefing, your registration number and timing chip, and have the chance to meet other people taking part.

Is there an age restriction? The minimum age is 18, there is no upper age limit.

How far is it? The minimum route is 10km – if you miss all of your shots you’ll run a maximum of 15km.

Do I need to train? You’ll need to train for the run! The better prepared you are for the run the steadier your hands will be for the shooting. We will send you a training plan to make sure you’re in tip top condition and stand more chance of hitting those targets.

What should I bring? A full kit list will be sent once you have registered.

Who is managing the shooting/ranges? The weapons and ranges are managed by British Shooting and E.J. Churchill. Instruction will be on a one-on-one basis

Is it safe? Safety is paramount – to ensure this we have teamed up with British Shooting and E.J. Churchill to ensure that the weapons are carefully controlled and managed. Each range will have qualified instructors who will work with each runner one on one. As with all such events which require physical exertion there is a small risk, however we do everything we can to get you as prepared as possible for the run itself.

What will I be shooting? Two shooting challenges will be using an Air-Arms MPR and the third using a shotgun.

Is Gift Aid included in my sponsorship target? Like many other charities, Gift Aid is not included in minimum sponsorship targets.

Can I fundraise online? You can create a personalised fundraising page for you to use which you can fill with your own photos and sponsors can leave you messages of support. All you have to do is send it out to everyone and everyone! Login here >>
