Are you up for the Cheltenham Challenge?
Cheltenham Challenge
18th June 2017
Organised by
Welcome to the Cheltenham Challenge, a multi-terrain event offering 5k, 10k and Half Marathon distances. There is something for everyone, including experienced runners, novices, juniors, families, children and walkers.
Starting at Cheltenham Racecourse, the routes use public footpaths and sections of the Cheltenham Circular Footpath, Cotswold Way and Winchcombe Way, passing through glorious Cotswold countryside and offering fantastic views.
The 5k and 10k routes are reasonably level with some small inclines. The Half Marathon loop starts at around 60m elevation and climbs to 330m elevation, reaching the highest point in the Cotswolds. With undulations, the total climb on this loop is around 360m.
The route lengths are approximate, having been measured by GPS and Google Earth, but are guaranteed to meet or exceed the stated event distances.
Managed by Cheltenham-based charity CCP, the Cheltenham Challenge is an annual event that has raised over half a million pounds for more than 80 charities to date. You are welcome to use the Cheltenham Challenge to fundraise for CCP or any other charity of your choice.
Registration for the 2017 Cheltenham Challenge will open on 1st October 2016.
