Trek The Night

Trek the Night  - Saturday 9 June and Sunday 10 June 2018. Registration 9.30pm–10.45pm.
At 11.00pm a full briefing is held – all must attend. Midnight - Trek the Night starts. Duration 12–17 hours.

It’s midnight. Most people are asleep. But not you.

You’ve got a map, a torch, some hiking shoes and you’re ready to do battle. Ready to face the ultimate challenge. The challenge that will try to break you.

Trek the Night is a gruelling 40 mile midnight hike that will push you to your limits. Think you can walk? Think again. This endurance challenge is tough, muddy, painful and a hell of a lot of fun.  Participants must be 18 and over. Participants aged 16 can take part, but must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Perfect for team bonding or for taking on your very own personal challenge. Walk it solo or with your friends, colleagues or family.

You’ll need stamina and determination to get you through but once you’ve hit the finish line the sense of accomplishment is unbeatable.

Trek the Night Lite

If the full Trek the Night is not for you then why not take on the Trek the Night Lite.

Walking just 23 miles your team will start at the breakfast stop and finish with the other teams at Cleeve Hill Golf Club.

It may be the Lite version but apart from less miles there is no difference; same teamwork, same route, same preparations, same support driver and car needed. Fewer miles but all the sense of achievement!

The fundraising target for the Trek-Lite is £1,200 per team.
