2025 Challenges
We are excited to bring you 5 fantastic challenges for 2025!
So what is a challenge?
A challenge is a personal effort undertaken any time, where you are responsible for your own guidance, endurance and welfare.
I want to do it with people.
Once a year, we offer a day (or two) where we will support you, during this time you will meet fellow challengers.
What is included in the support days?
As standard we provide a gps tracker, map and route instructions, gpx file, kit carriage, refreshments, a memento for finishing, or recovery if unable to do so (WalkRun24 doesn't include kit carriage, or recovery). For two day events, we will also provide basic evening accommodation or camping and savoury bites.
I want to do them all.
