Thousands of runners and walkers have taken part in the South West Coast 50 Ultra Challenge - 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 a fully signed route with arrows, free snacks and drinks, a medal, t-shirt and glass of fizz to make your active fundraising challenge successful and rewarding! If you’re up for a 10K charity challenge this year, make it The Dunster 10K!

You’ll be amazed how much you can raise as friends and family will recognise and support your endeavours over 10K distance! All fundraising goes directly to your charity via an online JustGiving page.

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 fantastic 10K looped trail route from the basecamp that lies below Dunster Castle. The route explores stunning views of the Castle, ancient hill forts and wonderful trails through the estate woodlands and hills with magnificent views at the top. You’ll be rewarded with a medal, a glass of fizz and an optional discounted BBQ meal to celebrate your achievements.
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.
Brilliant challenges, fabulous support and organization.
The organisation was outstanding, checkpoints were incredible and the volunteers were super supportive.
