fitness – The South West Coast Path

From Coast Path Walks to Marathon Miles: Shelley’s Journey of Grit and Determination raises money for the Path

Shelley Edwards’ South West Coast Path journey has been one of determination, growth and giving back. What began as a personal challenge to walk the Path in stages evolved into running her first trail marathon, the demanding Tsunami Marathon from Clovelly to Bude. Battling fierce winds and tough terrain, Shelley completed the challenge while raising more than £570 for the South West Coast Path Association. Despite a foot injury, she remains focused on completing the remaining miles of the 630-mile route.

The South West Coast Path to fun, friendship and fitness
