Challenge time:

This is a challenge that will require both a strong body and mind. It’s a great test whatever your current fitness level. It's not about how fast you run but more about being able to stick it out, digging in, showing your metal!

It’s also great fun, hanging out with likeminded people and working towards a goal, supporting and motivating each other to keep going.

If you want to understand a little more about how this event unfolds, read Fabienne's article, written after the virtual event we put on a couple of yeas ago.

Here is how it will work:

We will run or walk* 4 miles every 4 hours for 40 hours.

*or a mix of both

The details:

We will be based at the gorgeous Prior Park School. With its prominent position overlooking Bath we will not be short of inspiration! Our base will be one of the school's houses with its comfy sofas and kitchenette. Space for us to relax, recover and connect. We will pitch tents on the grass outside where we can bed down for rest. There are plenty of lovely routes directly from this location. No cars needed. 

We will travel the 4 miles on various paths to include graded tracks, fields, woodland and occasionally quiet roads.

The challenge will start at 9pm FRIDAY 14th. You are welcome to arrive from 7pm to set up and get organised. A high point will be joining in with Bath's Park Run on Saturday at 9am which takes place only a short walk from our base at the school. The last 4 miles will be run on Sunday 16th at 1pm, all in good time to get home for a long bath...

What’s included:

• Transport from Bath Spa train station to the school on Friday (to be organised in advance) and a return trip to the station on Sunday.

• Parking at the school if needed.

• Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday

• Evening meal on Saturday.

• A variety of teas, coffee and hot chocolate

There will ‘walk in’ tents available with separate rooms by prior arrangement, allowing you to avoid the dreaded camo-crawl in to a small tent on tired legs!

Virtual option:

For those who would rather stay put or who cannot make it to Bath but who would still like to get involved, there is an option to join us remotely.  We will be in touch over Zoom ahead of each of the runs. Sharing the love, the highs, the lows, and the stories that will make this event such a fun, community event.

Cost:

£150 for the in person event

£20 for the virtual option

It will certainly be a challenge you won't forget.
