Take to the Somerset countryside and challenge yourself by taking on an adapted version of Weston Hospicecare’s flagship event The Mendip Challenge on Sunday 6 September.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, we are limiting the numbers to 400 participants so make sure to sign up today! The Mini Mendip will start at Weston Cricket Club before taking you along the stunning Brean Down Way on a 10-mile hike to the turnaround point in Brean, before heading back to the cricket club via the Old Church of St Nicholas with breath-taking views across Weston-super-Mare and The Mendip Hills.
It costs £20 for adults and £12.50 for children to take part and your entry fee includes:
- Entry to The Mini Mendip on Sunday 6 September 2020
- Training programme to help you prepare for the walk
- Free re-usable water bottle and filling station at the start
- Finisher’s medal to show off your achievements
After signing up, you and your bubble will be given a starting time ranging from 7.30am until roughly 2pm. We’re asking bubble groups to walk together and you must socially distance from others.
To register on the day, you’ll be sent a unique QR code which a member of the Weston Hospicecare team will scan before you start and again when you finish. You can show this on a mobile phone or by printing off and bringing with you on the day!
If at any point within two weeks of the event you are displaying signs of the coronavirus or you have been diagnosed with it, you must not participate. Please email grace.dibden@westonhospicecare.org.uk if this is the case. Please note that there will not be refreshments along the route, but you will be able to purchase food and drink from the Cricket Club. All participants under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a participating adult from the same household at all times.
