Gower Peninsula Challenge 2025
This is a new Ultra Challenge for 2025, set in the stunning Gower Peninsula – the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and 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 8 route made up of west & east loops which take in the best of the Peninsula, its history, and its varied and unique landscape. It will test spirit & determination but is totally achievable with good preparation and the Ultra Challenge support!
With 50km, marathon, 25km, and 10K challenge option as well, and a bar & 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.
This challenge is part of the Ultra Challenge Series.
