Our Unique 250km Multi-Day Adventure

250km across five days on the Welsh coast. A challenge that will test you, with a community beside you every step of the way.

This is not a competition. There are no podiums, no cut-offs and no pressure to be first. We move together, support one another and celebrate every finish.

Our flagship adventure supports bigmoose, helping fund mental health support for people who need it.

What our Wales participants say

"This is so difficult, I think you’d need a book to do it justice. It’s a journey of growth and discovery, it’s a celebration of bigmoose and everything they stand for. It’s a bond building week you never knew was possible. It feels like a dream!"

"The true meaning of community, acceptance and support, in a space with the capacity to help you understand your purpose and push beyond your limits."

"⁠It takes a certain kind of person to sign up for these distances, and many of us arrived as strangers. But every morning, every lap, and every evening, we lifted each other. From barely being able to shuffle around camp to dancing and tackling 6000 meters of elevation - it’s amazing what you can achieve when you’re surrounded by inspirational people. In your lowest moments, there was always someone to give you the energy you needed. I’ve made so many connections and can’t wait for future events. For me that’s WhyWeRun."
