RidgeWalk Challenge

Arrive at the start in historic Marlborough where you’ll get yourself registered and ready to go and meet your fellow Ridgewalk hikers!

Before you set off there will be a full safety briefing from the challenge leaders to ensure all the participants are fully prepared. After that, you’ll be cheered across the start line as you set off on your challenge.

The route uses the Ridgeway National Trail for a large part of the hike and there are many highlights along the way including the monument of the Avebury Stone Circle, Barbury Castle, Liddington Castle and the Alton Barnes White Horse chalk hill figure.

You will walk the first section during the day and as you pass through small villages and a variety of countryside you will be cheered on by many supporters!

The route itself undulates gently across the 52 miles. We’ll make sure you’re supported throughout the event; from snacks and drinks at checkpoints to give you energy boosts, to cheer points along the way to give you morale boosts.

You’ll also get a delicious hot meal around the half-way point before continuing your trek through the night.
