Our base-camp in Cirencester is the hub for a full challenge looped route through the heart of the Cotswolds, which provides a stunning setting for 2,000 adventurers to test themselves.

There are rolling hills, villages, the magical Cotswold Way, footpaths and trails, with some fabulous views en route – and a few tough hills in between! You’ll get full support and hospitality, including optional university style accommodation at our base-camp. Choose from the full challenge, three-quarter challenge, half challenge, or quarter distance option. We also offer a 10km or 10 mile route as an intro to this challenge.

Your entry includes free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a medal to commemorate your achievement. As Blue Cross are an official partner on this event, you get a 25% discount on the ‘Full Sponsorship’ registration fee when signing up to support us.
