A fully guided 3-day challenge event where hikers take on 60 miles of the stunning South West Coast Path.
Every year, another 60 miles is tackled, walking to complete the South West Coast Path while raising money for children and young people living with life-limiting conditions.
Sign up for the Incredible Hike and take in the breathtaking sights, soak up the camaraderie, make friends and make a difference. The dedicated Event Team handle your meals, luggage transfers and hotel stays so you can fully enjoy and embrace your experience.
This year it's Westward Ho! to Tintagel.
You’ll be guided all the way in groups of 10.
Each group will start the day at a staggered time, ensuring pace and safety along the route. If you wake up on day two and decide you would like to join the slower-paced group, the team will make that happen. You will also be supported throughout your route to ensure you have the flexibility to join different groups if needed.
Unlike many hiking events, you won't be sent off with a map and in waves.
Leaders will be right there with you; guiding you along the route, providing basic medical assistance when required, leading on safety and ensuring you are on track to reach pit stops for breaks and your destination each day.
Dinner, drinks, mingle, relax.
Your evenings are chance to mingle, relax, have a nice evening and probably get an early night. Dinner is included (drinks at own cost) each evening and this is funded from your registration fee. There’s going to be a lot of camaraderie with Team Hike so that’s 50 hikers and all the Hike Support crew!
Westward Ho!

As an Incredible Hiker you'll receive:
All Incredible Hikers will receive their very own technical walking T-shirt for this year’s route. You’ll receive your t-shirt at registration. Added to that you’ll also get your very own buff, which will help to shield you from the sun or maybe keep warm in the rain!
To help get you in shape and looking the part.
No need to navigate and no getting lost - you're in safe hands all the way.
Hike Support will be on board and on hand throughout your 3-day guided walk and that includes providing snacks and drink stops along the route. This is funded from your registration fee. You are advised to carry your own treats and drink in your day backpack, so you have the flexibility to rehydrate as you need to along the route.
Joining Team Hike means that while you focus on the walking, the challenge and the fundraising, Hike Support can make your ultra challenge as comfortable as possible. As part of your registration fee, you are provided with accommodation for 2 nights.
All of your transfers from the coast path to your accommodation and vice versa are arranged! Your main luggage will be transferred too, so you don’t need to carry everything over the weekend.
At the end of your ultra hiking challenge, you will be handed your much deserved medal! Your medal will be specific to the route you’ve just walked so if you decide to sign up for the Incredible Hike again, you’ll be adding to your medal hook at home!
Whether it’s bubbly lemonade or bubbly Prosecco, we’ve got it covered. While you ‘cheers’ to your incredible experience and fundraising, we’d love to get a team photo for prosperity!
Raising £1,000 might seem like the ultimate challenge but there are so many tips to help you reach and smash your fundraising target.
Here are 10 easy fundraising ideas to raise £100 each - sorted!
You don’t need to hit your £1,000 target all in one go! Fundraising little and often can be the most effective way to reach your target.
Bake sales, bingo nights, and bucket collections can all raise over £100 a time.
Harnessing the power of social media will kick-start your fundraising journey. It’s so quick and simple to setup a JustGiving page, and make sure you regularly share your page and the story of why you’re taking on the Incredible Hike with your friends and followers. Reports from JustGiving and GoFundMe say that each share on Facebook can be worth anything from £10 to £35 per share!
Your workplace may also be able to support you, from swear jars and sponsored silences to matched funding or hosting a company quiz night, reach out to your employer to see how they can support you.
Once you register for the Incredible Hike, the team are here to support you at every step of the way too. You’ll have access to exclusive fundraising support and materials.
Your sponsorship helps the hospice make the most of short and precious lives across the South West. Without the support of wonderful fundraisers like you, the hospice would not be able to keep caring for children and young people across the South West and their families.
