About this event

The basecamp in Cirencester is the hub for a 100km looped route through the heart of the Cotswolds, which provides a stunning setting for 2,000 adventurers to test themselves. 

There are rolling hills, villages, the magical Cotswold Way, footpaths and trails, with some fabulous views en route - and a few tough hills in between!

You'll get full support and hospitality, including optional university-style accommodation at the basecamp, and with half and quarter distance challenges also - there's a Cotswold Way Challenge for everyone.

The Cotswold Way Challenge 2024 has taken place and applications for 2025 are not yet open. You can find out more about the event below or find another challenge.
