Weston Hospicecare’s Mendip Challenge 2024 will be taking place on Sunday 2 June, and once again is sponsored by Howards Motor Group. Now in its 33rd year, the challenge has four routes participants can choose from - 30 miles, 20 miles, 10 miles and 5 miles. All participants register at Weston Cricket Club before the 30 mile and 20 mile get coached to their starting locations (at Wells and Draycott respectively), and the 10 mile and 5 mile commence their circular route, all finishing back at the back to the cricket club for their finisher medal.
The walk takes in some of Weston-super-Mare and the Mendip Hills’ best viewpoints, and is open to all individuals, teams, families and dogs. With only 20% of funding coming from the NHS, the fundraising event provides an opportunity for participants to not only challenge themselves and have fun, but also raise money for Weston Hospicecare. Registration closes at midnight on Sunday 26th May, so get ready to hike the hills for the hospice – visit www.westonhospicecare.org.uk/events/ to find out more.
