Celebrate Trail-season with a virtual challenge that gives back

To celebrate our collective new-found freedom and that May is National Walking Month, we’ve teamed up with the lovely people at UltraBritain to bring you a ‘Coast Path Friendly’ virtual challenge which you can walk or run, and that gives back to the National Trail. You can clock up the miles wherever is easiest for you and track your progress on an interactive map of the SWCP over the next three months. That could be on the Trail itself if you are lucky enough to live in the South West, or on footpaths local to you if you are elsewhere in the world. This is a great way to get your Coast Path-fix even if you can’t visit in person, stay motivated to be active and make a difference for the Trail you love. Read on to find out how you can get involved.

Every Mile Matters on World Health Day

We launched our flagship campaign nearly 12 months ago, and since then hundreds of you have kindly joined in by donating, fundraising, or sharing your stories using hashtag #EveryMileMatters. On World Health Day, here’s a look back at what we’ve achieved together so far for the health and wellbeing of the Trail’s communities.

6 reasons why your team should become SWCP #MileMakers in 2021

Over 12 months, a Mile Maker Business simply donates or fundraises the amount it costs on average to look after one of the 630 Coast Path miles each year – £1,400. That’s less than £120 per month to raise together as a team however you like – it could be through staff fundraising, a percentage of product sales or an end-of-year corporate donation – its your choice!
