Event overview

Over 100 organisations have now benefited from sponsorship raised. So why not register and join the fun? There's a marathon and half marathon trail runs to the event, so it really is a day out for all. We have rebranded the event as The Orwell Challenge, however, the walk element still remains at the heart of the event. We know that not everyone is able to manage a 25 mile walk or a trail run but can still be challenged.

This event is part of The Orwell Challenge.
