We can't believe it's already been 1 week since the Race Across Lancashire 2025 winners were crowned!

We caught up with Team PM+M to hear all about their challenge highlights, unexpected hurdles and what advice they'd give to future challengers.

The question is...will you be signing up for the next Race Across Lancashire? 👀

🩵 £23,500 raised – THANK YOU! 🩵

We are absolutely blown away by the success of our first-ever Race Across Lancashire fundraiser, which has raised an incredible £23,500 to support women across the county as we celebrate our 40th anniversary.

A huge thank you goes to everyone who made this possible – the 15 amazing teams who took on the challenge, every single person who donated, and those who helped spread the word.

A special thank you to our main sponsor Lancashire Tea and our trophy sponsor SDL Trophies.

Your support has made such a difference, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Together, you’ve helped us raise vital funds to ensure Lancashire Women can continue being here for the women who need us most.

It’s been such a busy day with challengers racing across the county, we haven’t had chance to post about each checkpoint yet. We’ll do a full round up later. 9 teams have crossed the finish line so far and 6 teams are still racing across the county!

If you see our teams, please give them a wave 👋

We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of people across Lancashire - offering lifts, cheering along our challengers and donating to support the lives of women across the county 🩵 Thank you!

Great sportsmanship between our winners Team PM+M and runners up Team Apple Crumbles, who crossed the finish line with just 6 minutes between them!

Thank you to McDonald's Lytham St Annes for supporting our Race Across Lancashire event 🙌 Our teams had the opportunity to take on an additional challenge in Lytham this morning in exchange for breakfast. Here are Team Mission: Mum-possible in action taking on the challenge!

🚗💨 Anne and Nic from Lancashire Women stopped by today as part of their charity race across Lancashire! 💛

Even though our store was closed, they still rolled up their sleeves and helped us out by giving the dining area tables a sparkle ✨🫧

Wishing you both the very best of luck with the rest of your race – you’re doing amazing things for a great cause! 🙌
