Weston Hospicecare Mendip Challenge

About Us

The ​Mendip ​Challenge ​is ​an ​exciting ​sponsored ​event ​for ​those ​looking ​to ​have ​fun, ​challenge ​themselves ​and ​raise ​money ​for ​Weston ​Hospicecare. ​The ​routes ​- ​10 ​miles, ​20 ​miles ​or ​30 ​miles ​- ​are ​open ​to ​all ​individuals, ​teams, ​families ​and ​dogs ​and ​take ​you ​along ​the ​West ​Mendip ​Way ​in ​the ​Somerset ​hills! ​

The event will take place on 2 June 2019, and registrations will open early in the new year. So, if you’ve not taken part before – or if you have, but loved it and want to get involved again – keep an eye out for updates on our Facebook and Twitter pages… and we’ll look forward to seeing you then.

So ​what ​are ​you ​waiting ​for? ​Dust ​off ​those ​walking ​boots ​and ​get ​hiking ​for ​a ​great ​cause. ​
