88 Mile Challenge

About this event

Take on the 88 Mile Challenge and journey the length of Hadrian’s Wall and raise money for FareShare North East to help get food delivered across the region

As part of Visit Hadrian’s Wall #hw1900 festival, we are inviting you to join us in a fundraising challenge – an 88-mile walk along the historic paths of Hadrian’s Wall.

When is the Event?

Arriving at Bowness-on-Solway on the 21st April, you can expect four days of good company, amazing views, challenging walking sessions, and rewarding wind downs at campsites every evening. The challenge will be perfect for experienced hikers, but achievable for anyone who’s new to outdoor fitness or walking for long periods – support staff here at FareShare North East have put together a preparation guide for the walk and can help anyone to get ready to achieve this goal. They’ll also be sharing the load and taking on the challenge with you, and will be there to offer their guidance and support throughout the whole journey. Together we will finish at Segedunum and reach a well-earned rest, as well as a warm welcome from supporters.

Sponsors and Donations

We ask anyone who is interested in the 88 Mile Challenge to also support the charity by gaining sponsors for their impressive trek. Joining us in our fundraising efforts would play a huge part in helping us to carry out our work. Donations from sponsors will fund the running of 7 busy delivery vans so that there is enough petrol, maintenance, and equipment to keep getting food to people in need. They will also contribute to costs covering equipment for volunteers, ensuring everyone is safe and supported during their shifts.

The deadline to participate in this event has now passed. However, you can still sponsor and donate. If you would like to donate or sponsor someone, please donate here.
