Take part in an Inflatable 5K event to raise money for CHF’s new Exercise Programme

The Inflatable 5K events are just the first steps you can take toward supporting and fundraising for the new CHF Exercise Programme.

The world’s largest and best fun run obstacle course the ‘Inflatable 5K’ has got even bigger and bouncier with CHF becoming one of their official charity partners! With four different distances – 2.5K, 5K, 10K, 15K – to choose from at various locations throughout the UK, anyone over the age of five can take part.* This gigantic obstacle run is suitable for all, whatever your age or athletic ability. Children need the supervision of a participating adult (16+) who can supervise up to three children. This event is an awesome day out with friends or family while you raise much needed funds for CHF’s new campaign to promote positive exercises for children with heart conditions.

* Participants with heart conditions should check with a cardiologist before taking part, especially those who are on blood thinning medication.

The Exercise Programme

The Exercise Programme project aims to create a structured programme of exercise and education for young people of all ages and activity levels who are unsure where to start exercising with a heart condition

A 2020 study by Stamford University outlined that children and adolescents with heart defects (CHD) often have decreased exercise capacity and muscle mass. Despite the undeniable numerous health benefits and guideline recommendation of 60 min daily physical activity for children and adolescents with heart conditions they often do not exercise regularly.

This fun and easy to follow digital exercise programme will be an introduction to exercise for children and young people with heart conditions and should boost their confidence with physical activity. Parents and carers will have the peace of mind that all exercises are safe and suitable for these children.
