JDRF Hadrian's Wall Trail Challenge

Pit yourself against one of the toughest challenges that the UK has to offer, as you take on a marathon distance event through Hadrian's Wall country. Set against the historic backdrop of Hadrian's Wall you will put mind and body through the ultimate test, as you tackle this serious endurance challenge. Running or walking, this route is a serious undertaking.

After registration we will transfer you out to the start point near Lanercost Priory. From here you will begin to make your way back to Hexham, running or walking (or both) through the Northumberland National Park.

During the challenge you will be required to follow our waymarked route and to be self-sufficient between the checkpoints. Our support leaders will be availabale along the way if you have any difficulties.

The route begins by following the remains of the wall closely as we wind up and down the rolling hills of this dramatic landscape. At certain sections we following small country lanes as we traverse the countryside. As fatigue starts to take hold we begin the slow descent into Hexham and the finish line.

Not for the faint hearted, this is a tough endurance challenge and should not be undertaken lightly, however the sense of achievement is tremendous. The terrain is extremely varied and anyone undertaking this challenge should be comfortable  running or walking similar distances.
