What is the Gower Peninsula Challenge?
The Gower Peninsula the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and famous for its golden beaches, limestone cliffs, wild moors, ridges, and woodlands.
With multiple distances, and varying routes, this challenge enables you to explore the stunning scenery of the Peninsula whilst raising money for Beat.
You have complete control on how you complete the challenge - choose which distance is right for you and walk, jog or run at your own pace.
Take part with friends or family, or even your colleagues as a team building activity!
The routes
All routes start and finish at Penrice Castle.
The 100km challenge is a figure of 8 route made up of west & east loops which take in the best of the Peninsula, its history, and its varied and unique landscape.
The 50km routes take on the East or West loop, with the 75km taking a mix of both. The 25km and 10km challenges are more central around the area of Penrice Castle, extending down to the villages of Oxwich and Slade.
