About this event
Starting with the Minehead section of the stunning and famous 630-mile Coastal Path, a 50 km loop heads over Exmoor. There are magnificent views to be had with over 1600 metres of climb and an extensive 'basecamp' in the shadows of the impressive Dunster Castle.
You'll get full support to the finish and with a 25 km option, plus a family-friendly 10 km event and festival-style hospitality at basecamp across the weekend - there's a South West Coast Challenge for everyone.
As the RSPCA is an official partner of this event, you can sign up to support us and receive a 25% discount on the 'Full Sponsorship' registration fee.
