Cotswold Way Challenge
The magical Cotswold Way provides a stunning setting for a testing challenge – with some fantastic views en route and tough
hills in between! Our base-camp in Cirencester is the hub for a full challenge looped route through the heart of the Cotswolds,
which provides a stunning setting for 2,000 adventurers to test themselves.
There are rolling hills, villages, the magical Cotswold Way, footpaths & trails, with some fabulous views en route – and a few
tough hills in between! You’ll get full support & hospitality, including optional university style accommodation at our base-camp.
Choose from the full challenge, three-quarter challenge, half challenge, or quarter distance option. We also offer a 10km or 10
mile route as an intro to this challenge
Your entry includes free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. As you cross
the finish line, you’ll get a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a medal to commemorate your achievement.
