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.
