Trailwalker UK

Trailwalker UK Trailwalker is a 100km challenge across the South Downs Way that will test you and your team both physically and mentally.

Set up by the legendary Gurkhas, Trailwalker is the ultimate physical and mental challenge. You'll need to motivate and encourage each other from the start to make it to the finish line so be prepared to pull together to achieve something astonishing. Your support crew are a vital part of your team. The crew can be made up of friends and family who'll meet you at checkpoints along the route and pr

ovide supplies and encouragement. They will help carry your kit and give you the motivation and morale to complete the challenge. It will be one of the toughest challenges you have ever done, but the sense of achievement you will get as your cross the finish line will be one of the best feelings in the world.

Still thinking about taking on Trailwalker this year?

Before the training starts… before the blisters… before the 100km adventure begins… you’ll need one very important thing:

👉 A team name.

And every year, the team with the Best Team Name wins a personalised team flag to carry across the trail! 🏴

Whether you go funny, fierce, clever, or completely chaotic, this is your chance to make your team unforgettable before you’ve even crossed the start line.

Imagine seeing your own flag leading your team through every checkpoint all the way to the finish 💪

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to sign up… this is it.
Gather your team. Pick your name. Take on 100km together.
Who’s got the winning name this year? 👀

Still Time to Join the Crew! https://trailwalker.gwt.org.uk/volunteer/

We’re almost ready for this year’s epic challenge but we would love your support to make it happen! 🤘

Throughout the years Trailwalker would not have been the same without our incredible volunteers. Cheering on tired teams, helping at checkpoints together with other volunteers and the Gurkhas, and of course helping us finish all that Gurkha curry at the finish line!🍽

If you can give a few hours or the whole weekend, your time will make a huge difference to either the start, finish, or registration areas and everyone.

If you haven’t yet volunteered at Trailwalker, but would like to, sign up at https://trailwalker.gwt.org.uk/volunteer/
