The Cheddar Gorge Challenge 2026
The Cheddar Gorge Challenge 2026
Your challenge awaits
Choose from a 1km, 3km, 6km, 10km, half marathon or a full marathon challenge! There’s something for the whole family.
This is one of the most scenic events in the Country, and there’s a trail run here for all the family with 1k, 3k, 6k, 10k, Half Marathon and Marathon distances, across Cheddar Gorge and the Mendip Hills. Cheddar Gorge is steep in places and very steep everywhere else, and the terrain is varied and exciting!
The routes will take in breathtaking views and lung-aching ascents, most notably the affectionately dubbed ‘Hell Steps’, from where you will experience wonderful cliff-top running along the Gorge edge.
Whichever distance you are taking part in, you will see some of the most beautiful and remarkable landscapes of any run in the country, with a mix of open fields, rocky terrain and woodland trails. The 10km, Half Marathon and Marathon all include breathtaking running along the gorge cliff top path which has the most incredible views across the Somerset levels and the Bristol Channel.
