Set yourself an exciting new challenge and hike around the beautiful Gower Peninsula!
Mighty Hikes are an award-winning series of marathon and half marathon hikes, taking place in some of the most beautiful and unspoiled parts of the UK. If you’re looking for a fun way to get fit, a memorable day out with friends and family, and a chance to celebrate or remember a loved one, then Mighty Hikes are for you.
And it doesn’t matter if you’re lacing up your boots for the first or fiftieth time – you'll be supported every step of the way!
Starting at Penrice Castle, the Gower Peninsula Mighty Hike will take you along the beautiful coastline of the UKs first designated ‘National Landscape’ with sweeping views of Rhosilli Bay and Worms’ Head.
It’s a route that will get your blood pumping, with several hills and sections of beach walking.
With trek masters, signposted routes, medics, and toilets all along the route, you’ll feel supported every step of the way.
Regular pit stops with snacks and refreshments, a fresh buffet lunch and a hot meal waiting for you when you finish.
At the finish line you’ll be greeted with cheers, fizz and of course your Mighty medal.
You'll be able to treasure your Mighty Hike memories forever, as all your professional photos are free to download.
Once you sign up, you’ll have access to expert training advice and fundraising tips to smash your £250 target.

It's easy to create a team...
Follow the steps to become a Team Captain when you register. Make sure you have a list of names and email addresses of your fellow team members. Once you have signed up, an email invite will be sent to your team members with a bespoke link for them to fill out their own registration form and join your team.
As Team Captain you will have the option to pay their registration fee, otherwise your team members can pay when they get their invite.
Every time a member of the team completes their registration, you’ll be sent a confirmation email. That way you can monitor who has or has not joined your team.

Very well organised and brilliant pit stops and food! Will definitely do another Mighty Hike. Sarah, Gower Peninsula 2024
