Trekathons

Trekathons are a new 26 mile one day event where people can walk, jog or run along one of five beautiful routes. It is totally non-competitive so people can go at their own pace and just enjoy their surroundings.

There are five fantastic trekathons to choose from. Each one takes in a different area of the UK and should take about between 8-9 hours for fit and strong walkers. These trekathons are ideal for individuals, friends and colleagues alike.
