Your ultra moment for your hospitals

A challenge event you can take on at your pace. The South West Coast 50 Challenge invites you to walk, jog or run a distance of your choic along a signed route, with free food and drink at regular rest stops. Get the ‘Ultra Challenge’ support and hospitality all the way – helping you to push yourself further and achieve something really special for your hospitals.

Take on the South West challenge for 2025 – taking in a section of the 630 mile Coastal Path with an extensive ‘basecamp’ in the shadows of the impressive Dunster Castle. Distances include the full 50km loop over Exmoor, with ups and downs and some magnificent views and over 1,600 metres of climbing. It will test spirit and determination, but is totally achievable with good preparation and the Ultra Challenge support. With 25km and 10km challenge options also available - there's a challenge here for everyone – and you can join as an individual or as a team.

As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a big welcome from the cheer squad, a glass of fizz, t-shirt and a special medal to celebrate your achievement.

Walk, jog, or run a distance of your choice (10km, 25km or 50km) as an individual or a team, and help do great things for your Bristol and Weston hospitals.
