CHALLENGE Factsheet South West Coast 2 Coast 2021
A new ‘Coast to Coast’ Challenge for 2021 – across England’s South
        West Peninsular. It’s 102km from Minehead in Somerset on the south
        bank of the Bristol Channel, down to seaside Dawlish on the southern
        coast of Devon, with some ups & downs of Exmoor and the meandering
        Exe Valley in between.
        Take on the Challenge at your pace – Walk, Jog, or Run it – and you’ll get full support all
        the way with marquee rest stops, free food & drink, and a huge welcome & celebration at the
        finish fine after an amazing journey. With half and ‘quarter’ distance options also – there’s a South
        West Challenge for all!

                                                                                    MINEHEAD

    Fundraising Deadlines At least 50% of the Sponsorship target (for either the Sponsorship for Charity or Mixed Funding option) should be with your Charity by
    3 weeks prior to the Challenge. At this time your Charity will pay a Fee for your place to the Organiser (similar to the Self Funding cost). Failure to meet the 50%
    target may result in cancellation by your charity. The remaining 50% should be with your Charity 4 weeks after the Challenge.
