Join us for our brand new challenge to celebrate national walking month starting 19 May

Join or create a team of 10 as we go head to head to complete the course in 2 weeks, whilst virtually walking around the UK coastline and visiting some of our most stunning seaside sights.

The challenge runs from 19 May to 31 May, for two whole weeks of fun, fit and friendly competition.

In teams of up to 10 people, you will compete against other teams to see how far you can travel around the UK in two weeks by logging your daily walking activity.
