Oxfam Trailtrekker

We’ve created this TrailTrekker route for its varied terrain and its stunning views.  Not for the faint-hearted, this 30hr+ challenge will take you up hill and down dale, scaling Malham Cove and Pen-y-Ghent.  I’ve done this route myself (in the January when there was a foot of snow on the ground!) - you have to push yourself hard. You start in a team and finish in a team so you get tons of encouragement and support along the way.

Race Tips

• Train hard, fight easy! Good training is a must for this one, start progressive, do lots of hills, practice in the dark at night.
• Check out the awesome view from the summit of Pen-y-Ghent.
• Stick together, everyone in the team will have highs and lows throughout the event, the more cohesive you are as a team the easier it will be.
• Change your socks often, it will feel like putting on new feet!

• It was the best event I have ever attended (and I have done quite a few!). The quality of the facilities were second to none. Drinks, snacks, bars, first aid, cakes, hot food, massages ... what more could we have asked for, fantastic! - Karen Watson
• Quite simply unbelievable! Food and drink every 10km or so, incredibly well marked course (day and night), amazing marshals, great mixture of terrain (flat canal, rugged steep hills, road, beautiful river sections, rocky bits and lovely Yorkshire villages - the event had it all! There is not one single thing that as a team we could have asked for! - Jonathan Mayne
