    • Cost: £20 / £30 / £40 depending on distance. Minimum fundraising: £100 / £275 / £375 depending on distance.

Perhaps the BEST 50km challenge on our calendar! A fantastic ‘South West’ summer challenge – taking in the first Minehead section of the famous 630 mile Coastal Path, and with an extensive ‘basecamp’ in the shadows of the impressive Dunster Castle. The 50 km loop then heads over Exmoor with ups & downs and some magnificent views with over 1600 metres of climb. You’ll get full support all the way, and with 25 km options also, plus a family friendly 10K event – along with weekend camping packages & festival style hospitality at basecamp – there’s a South West Coast Ultra Challenge for everyone!

Challenge Highlights

A great challenge in the South West taking in the start of the magnificent South West Coastal Path, and the unique countryside of Exmoor – including Dunkery Beacon (Exmoor’s high point) – with panoramic views. Our start / finish venue beneath Dunster Castle is ‘challenge basecamp’ – with a full range of hospitality & camping options across the weekend.
