South West Coast Path Challenge – One Day, 52 Legs, One Mission
Published Wednesday, 18th March 2026
On 16 May 2026, we will take on an ambitious and inspiring challenge: walking the South West Coast Path in a Day. As the UK’s longest continuous walking trail at 630 miles, the path is divided into 52 individual legs that each take a full day to complete.
Our goal is simple but powerful: to have at least 52 individuals or groups each take on one leg of the path on the same day.
This is more than just a walking challenge, it’s a collective effort to mirror the resilience, teamwork and determination that 65 Degrees North instils in those it supports.
The event is open to everyone. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or simply looking to enjoy a day along some of the most breathtaking coastline in the world, this is your opportunity to be part of something meaningful.
We encourage you to get involved, bring friends or family and help spread the word because every step taken helps make a difference.
Together, we aim to raise £5,000 to support the continued work of 65 Degrees North, ensuring they can keep transforming lives through adventure and rehabilitation.
