About the event

Join #TeamMRF at the Cotswold Way Challenge in 2025 and walk, jog or run for a world free from meningitis.

Cotswold Way Challenge...Walk, Jog or Run it

A challenge event you can take on at your pace. The Cotswold Way Challenge invites you to walk, jog or run a distance of your choice, along a signed route, with free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. Get the ‘Ultra Challenge’ support & hospitality all the way – helping you to push yourself further and achieve something really special for Meningitis Research Foundation.

The magical Cotswold Way provides a stunning setting for a testing challenge - with some fantastic views en route and tough hills in between! The base-camp in Cirencester is the hub for a full challenge 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 scenic Cotswold Way, footpaths & trails, with some fabulous views en route. It will test your spirit & determination but is totally achievable with good preparation and the Ultra Challenge support. With 50km, 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.
