The Cotswold Way provides a stunning setting for this testing
challenge - with fantastic views enroute and some tough hills
in between! It’s a Saturday morning start from historic Bath’s Royal
Crescent, and ahead lies 100km of footpaths and trails with full support all
the way before the welcome Cheltenham finish line.
As an individual or as a team it’s a great way to do get fit, set a new goal, and to fundraise
for a charity that’s special for you if you want to. We’ll be with you every step of the way -
from kit advice, optional training walks, to moral support and great hospitality on the day.
Push yourself further in 2019 - you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve!
