Cotswold Way Challenge

A family of 2 adults and 2 children wearing finisher event medals

The magical Cotswold Way provides a stunning setting for a testing challenge - with some fantastic views en route and tough hills in between!

It's a Saturday morning start from historic Cirencester, as 2000 adventurers set out on 100km of footpaths & trails - most walking but many jogging and running.

Whether you're a keen walker and new to endurance events, or a seasoned hiker up for a new adventure - with half and quarter distance options also - there's a Challenge here for everyone. You'll get full support & hospitality all the way to your finish line - where an amazing sense of achievement & celebration awaits.
