Take on the South West Coast 50 Challenge and experience one of the UK's most spectacular endurance events while raising vital funds for Terrence Higgins Trust.
Starting from an impressive base camp beneath Dunster Castle, this challenge explores the opening section of the South West Coast Path and the stunning scenery of Exmoor National Park.
The full 50km route features rolling hills, challenging climbs and breathtaking coastal views, with over 1,600 metres of ascent. If you're looking for a shorter challenge, a 25km and 10km options also available.
Whether you choose to walk, jog or run, you'll receive full support throughout your journey. With camping options and festival-style hospitality at base camp across the weekend, there's a challenge to suit everyone.
Every step you take will help Terrence Higgins Trust end HIV stigma, prevent new HIV transmissions and support people living with and affected by HIV.
