Raising Awareness Along the Way

Throughout the journey, teams will also complete themed challenges focused on water scarcity and inclusivity.

These activities are being developed in partnership with Waterwise and the Construction Industry Coalition(CIC), helping participants, and the wider industry, better understand the urgent need for action in both areas.

The race offers a unique opportunity to shine a spotlight on the global water crisis while promoting meaningful progress toward a more inclusive future for construction.

Fundraising for Lasting Change

Every team taking part in Race for Change will commit to raising a minimum of £2,500, with half of the proceeds going to The Cycle and the remaining half donated to the team’s chosen corporate charity.

The charity at the heart of the initiative, The Cycle, works at the intersection of gender equity and climate resilience, delivering sustainable WASH services and menstrual health education in communities that need it most.

Through Race for Change, the construction industry has the chance to make a tangible difference - not only within its own workforce, but in communities around the world.

Driving Change Beyond the Finish Line

Race for Change is more than just a competition. It’s a platform for the construction industry to demonstrate leadership, embrace diversity, and support global change.

By challenging teams to rely on each other while raising funds for vital causes, the initiative highlights the power of collaboration and the positive impact the industry can make when it comes together.

As the countdown begins to June 2026, Race for Change promises to be an inspiring reminder that meaningful change starts when people are willing to step outside their comfort zones - and race toward something bigger.
