The Mendip Challenge, Weston Hospicecare’s popular fundraiser, will take place on Sunday 12 June 2022. 

The Mendip Challenge will take place on Sunday 12 June and will feature a 30, 20, 10 and a 5 mile route for supporters to tackle. 

The routes follow the West Mendip Way on the Mendip Hills between Wells and Weston. 

In 2019, the event raised an enormous £85,000 for the hospice with 1,200 people taking on the challenge. 

The event has run for more than 30 years with this year being the 31st year of the event. Traditionally, between 1000-1500 walkers now sign up to support their local hospice; Weston Hospicecare.

Events and Challenges Manager, Jane Murch, says “We’re delighted to announce our most popular event, The Mendip Challenge, is back! 

“We can’t wait to see you all take to the countryside and take on the challenge to fundraise to support your hospice.” 

“This year our walkers will enjoy the use of a chip timer to accurately record their times.”

Participants for the 5 and 10 mile route will start and finish at Weston Cricket Club to ensure social distancing can take place on the coaches for the 20 and 30 mile route. 

Supporters will receive a medal, a reusable water bottle and a route guide.
