Walk, jog, or run the South West Coast Challenge 2025, starting at our base camp in the shadows of the impressive Dunster Castle. The route begins on the Minehead section of the stunning 630-mile coastal path. The full 50km loop then heads over Exmoor with over 1,600m of climbs and some magnificent views.
With 25km and 10km options also available, there’s a challenge for everyone.
You’ll receive Ultra Challenge hospitality all the way including free food and drink at regular rest stops along a signed route, plus support from medics, marshals and massage therapists, helping you push yourself further and achieve something really special!
As you cross the finish line, you’ll receive a glass of fizz, finisher’s t-shirt, and a medal to commemorate your achievement, before heading to a BBQ and a well earned rest. There are also camping options and festival-style hospitality at base camp across the weekend.
You may have to dig deep at times – but you’ll meet new friends along the way, and the journey will be unforgettable!
