The Gower Peninsula Ultra Challenge® 10K is part of the UK’s biggest and best series of treks and trail runs for a wide range of ages, fitness and experience levels which raises £10+ million a year for charities!
You’ll get support along the way so you can tackle a 10K, savour this breathtaking area and push yourself for an important cause. If you’re up for a charity event this year, make it the Gower Peninsular Ultra Challenge® 10K.
Do it at your own pace and enjoy the day out. The level of support enables you to go further and achieve your goal. There's a snack stop, a fully signed route to guide you and a glass of fizz, medal and t-shirt at the finish line.
An finish-line celebration awaits with an amazing sense of achievement for you personally and also for your fundraising efforts.
You’ll be amazed how much you can raise on these active events as friends and family will recognise and support your courageous endeavours to cover your distance. All fundraising goes directly to your charity via an online JustGiving page.
The series raises £10+ million a year for charities. Choose your charity, set up a JustGiving sponsorship page and make your challenge count!
Whether you’re a walker and new to challenge events, an experienced trekker, a marathon enthusiast upping the distance, or a seasoned ultra runner after UTMB points – there’s an Ultra Challenge® for you! Walk, Jog, or Run at your pace, as an Individual or a Team, for a charity of your choice or just for you. There’s an Ultra March® option for ‘fast walkers’ – and a new ‘Solo Challenger’ start time to join up with others.
This Ultra Challenge® famously lays on the best support and hospitality available on any UK endurance-style event. This enables you to step up and confidently tackle an 'Ultra' distance, with the best chance of success - and to enjoy your challenge! Here's a summary:
A perfect Saturday 10K for all ages, and maybe for those supporting others on the longer distance challenges – setting out from Penrice Castle basecamp, where we have a range of camping options and hospitality. It heads out on a clockwise 10km loop down towards Oxwich Bay and then back to the basecamp finish line at Penrice Castle for a medal and a picnic lunch.
You need to create your fundraising page on JustGiving within 48 hours of registering for your challenge. Then you can start your fundraising by sharing your page online with your friends and family.
As long as you’re all fundraising for the same charity, you can create a team fundraising page on JustGiving. You will still have to reach the combined total fundraising amount as the target is per person, not per team.
Speak to your charity about any worries. They are the experts and will offer you support, materials and inspiration throughout.
Remember only 50% of the target has to be reached 3 weeks before the challenge meaning you’ve got time after the challenge to impress everyone with your achievement and keep on fundraising.
If you don’t reach the fundraising target, there are alternative options. You can always change to a self-funded place and still take part in the challenge.
Once you've got your charity place, your details will be passed to the charity and you will hear from them within 14 days.
High level of service from your staff, the detail and accuracy of your administration and general professionalism of the whole event. First class delivery
Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. They couldn't do enough for you. All the people helping made the challenge an amazing event.
