Weldmar Hospicecare staff hold posters for the four new 2027 fundraising challenges - Snowdon by Night, Cambodia Overseas Challenge, Tour de Weldmar and Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge - outside the hospice in Dorchester

Weldmar Hospicecare has launched four spectacular new fundraising challenges for 2027.

Supporters can climb Mount Snowdon under the stars, hike through Cambodian villages and jungles, cycle to the iconic Mont-Saint-Michel in France, or take part in the Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge.

All sponsorship raised by participants will go directly towards providing specialist care for adults in Dorset with a life limiting illness, and support for their loved ones.

The new Weldmar Hospicecare challenges are:

Cambodia Overseas Challenge ’27: An immersive multi-day expedition starting at the iconic temples of Angkor Wat, leading trekkers through remote villages, scenic mountain terrains, and sacred heritage sites.

Tour de Weldmar: A challenging five day, 240-mile bike ride from the hospice in Dorchester ending at the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage site of Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy.

Snowdon by Night: A dramatic climb of the highest peak in England and Wales, heading to the summit under the stars in the early hours of the morning, before witnessing the spectacular sunrise over Snowdonia on the descent.

Jurassic Coast Ultra Challenge: The return of the popular event, where you can choose distances ranging from 10km to 100km along the coastline.

Director of fundraising Oliver Hoare said: “I’m so passionate about these adventures – each one is designed to be life-changing, both for the participants who take them on and for everyone at Weldmar, as they help us continue providing vital, specialist care to local people and their families experiencing life limiting illness.”
