The 150km in a Day Challenge
To celebrate 15 years of programme delivery, CatZero co-founder and Director of Sailing, Danny Watson, is running 150km in a day – the equivalent of 93 miles, or three and a half marathons. This immense challenge will be taking place on the 2nd May 2024, and he will start in the early hours of the morning at Grimsby Fish Docks, running half of the distance on the south bank before taking a pilot boat across the Humber and completing the other half around Hull Marina.

Cycle Challenge
2019 saw the fifth CatZero Cycle Challenge take place which saw 13 riders taking to the saddle to complete the 270 mile full coast to coast, riding from Hornsea to Stockport in three days.
Director of Sailing, Danny Watson, who leads the event every year was delighted to reveal that the 2019 Cycle Challenge raised £13,000 – bringing the total raised by cycling events over the past five years to £91,000! All money raised goes back into the charity to directly benefit local people.
Volunteer With Us
If you are looking for a way to give back to the community, and to support people through their personal development journey, then volunteering for CatZero could be for you. Our volunteers assist us with sailing, both when the boat is on the water as part of a personal development programme, and when we are running our fundraising sails. There are also occasionally land-based opportunities, from hiking the peaks with a group of veterans, to helping young people with a mock job interview.
If you are interested in volunteering, then please contact [email protected] who can get you started on the process.
