What a weekend! On Saturday, 20th June, 2026, the world’s biggest and most epic inflatable obstacle course bounced its way into Leeds, and Little Hiccups was right there in the middle of the action!
The Inflatable 2.5k is the perfect event for families to join in, challenge themselves, and have an absolute blast jumping, sliding, and laughing all the way to the finish line. This year, we had two absolute superstars tackling the 15 massive obstacles: Anna and her son, Reuben!
They wore their bright neon green “Hiccups Conquerors” t-shirts with pride.
Anna shared their fantastic experience of the day with us:
“I decided to run the 2.5k inflatable race with Reuben as he wanted to be part of something that has helped his big sister Sophia.
Registration was easy and all information needed for the day was sent a week prior to the event. The day itself was well organised; you could arrive at any time between 9am and 2pm to prevent queuing at the obstacles, which worked well. It was good fun with a variety of different obstacles, 15 in total. Reuben already wants to sign up for the 5k one next year!”
Target Smashed! 📈💥
Reuben’s reason for running completely melts our hearts. Wanting to step up and tackle an epic obstacle course to support the charity that helps his big sister, Sophia, is what true family teamwork is all about.
And their hard work paid off in more ways than one! Thanks to their incredible efforts—and your amazing generosity—they absolutely smashed their fundraising target out of the park:
- Total raised so far: 115% of their goal!
- Amount raised: £290.00 of a £250 target!
- Bonus support: An additional £61.25 raised in Gift Aid!
From massive climbing walls to bouncy tunnels, the pair conquered everything the course threw at them. There was no shortage of high energy, big bounces, and spectacular slides!
By the time they reached the finish line, they had thoroughly earned their shiny new finisher medals. A massive congratulations to you both—you are official Hiccups Conquerors!

Children between 5 and 15 years old can absolutely take part as long as they are accompanied by a participating adult (with a 3:1 child-to-adult ratio). It truly is the ultimate day out.
