South West Coast 50 Challenge 2025
Take on the ‘South West’ challenge for 2025 – taking in the first Minehead section of the stunning & famous 630 mile Coastal Path, and with an extensive ‘basecamp’ in the shadows of the impressive Dunster Castle. You can pick your distance. The full 50 km loop heads over Exmoor with ups & downs and some magnificent views with over 1600 metres of climb. It will test spirit & determination but is totally achievable with good preparation and the Ultra Challenge support.
With 25km and 10km challenge options also available - there's a challenge here for everyone – and you can join as an individual or as a team of friends / family.
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.
