RenQuip Vipers at the Beast Race 2026 supporting UCAN Cancer Charity.

RenQuip raised £2,615.47 for UCAN Cancer Charity

Team RenQuip became The RenQuip Vipers for charity.

On 12th September, we swapped hydraulic tools for muddy trails as The RenQuip Vipers took on the Beast Race – a demanding 10km obstacle course packed with mud, water and more than 30 obstacles in the heart of Aberdeenshire.

We proudly took on this challenge to raise money for UCAN, a fantastic north-east Scotland charity dedicated to improving the lives of people and families affected by urological cancers through awareness, support and pioneering care.

The money we have raised, will help support the incredible work UCAN does.

Not only did we have the team out in the mud tackling the Beast Race, we had ongoing fundraisers in the office to help smash our £1,500 goal, raising a grand total of £2,615.47 (correct as of 17/09/2026)

If you’d like to help increase this total more, you can still donate here.

Big thank you to The RenQuip Vipers:


Marc Gerrard, Wendy Bendel-Milne, Andy Muirhead, Wes Clough, Shaun Cruickshank, Emma Forbes, Jodie Wood, Lee Wood, Kamil Zielinski, Ross Whyte, Ewen Paterson and honorary Viper Sandra Paterson.



And a huge thank you to the non-participating Vipers, family and friends that showed up to support, take photos, shout encouragement and provide sweet treats, the team at UCAN and everyone who has donated. You have all been amazing!

Below are some great photos from the day.
