Following the success of the Sandals Foundation Island Run - Antigua 2023 and the Island Challenge - Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in 2024, we’re continuing our mission to strengthen the Caribbean’s paediatric services by raising £100,000 for life-saving equipment for sick children and babies in Saint Lucia.
The Island Challenge - Saint Lucia 2025 will take place over four consecutive days this October, consisting of long-distance running including a half marathon, kayaking on choppy ocean waters, trekking through tropical rainforests and hiking up the breathtaking Gros Piton, one of Saint Lucia's famous dormant volcanoes which stands at over 798 metres hig.
Access to the right equipment, facilities and resources can significantly improve a country's ability to provide proper medical attention to its people. This year’s event will provide funding for essential new equipment in the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) of the Paediatric Division at the Millennium Medical Complex in Saint Lucia. The Unit cares for approximately 180 critically ill babies each year and stands as a symbol of hope for families during a vulnerable time.
The Island Challenge - Saint Lucia 2025 is kindly supported by sponsors including our airline partner, British Airways, and the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority.The Island Challenge - Saint Lucia 2025 is kindly supported by sponsors including our airline partner, British Airways, and the Saint Lucia Tourism Authority.
