Gower Peninsula Challenge
A challenge event you can take on at your own pace! The Gower Peninsula Challenge invites you to walk, jog or run a distance of your choice, along a signed route, with free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. Get the ‘Ultra Challenge’ support and hospitality all the way – helping you to push yourself further and achieve something really special for Save the Rhino.
Set in the stunning Gower Peninsula, this event takes you through the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, famous for its golden beaches, limestone cliffs, wild moors, ridges, and woodlands. Our basecamp is in the grounds of the historic Penrice Castle, with weekend camping options – and the 100km challenge is a figure of eight route made up of west and east loops which take in the best of the Peninsula, its history, and its varied and unique landscape. It will test spirit and determination but is totally achievable with good preparation and the Ultra Challenge support! With 50km, marathon, 25km, and 10km challenge option as well, and a bar and entertainment at basecamp – this event will be the highlight the season!
You may have to dig deep at times, you’ll meet new friends along the way, and the journey will be unforgettable! 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.
