About the South West Coast 50 Challenge 2026

Take on the ‘South West’ challenge for 2026 – taking in the first Minehead section of the stunning & famous 630 mile Coastal Path, and with an extensive ‘basecamp’ in the shadows of the impressive Dunster Castle. The full 50 km loop heads over Exmoor with ups & downs and some magnificent views.

There's a challenge here for everyone, whether you’re a walker and new to challenge events, an experienced trekker, a marathon enthusiast upping the distance, or a seasoned ultra runner.
