The Ridgeway follows ancient track and trails, it is undulating - but believe us when we say that the hills are well worth the views! This event is open to everyone and is not timed, we welcome participants of all abilities and think this will be a wonderful way to experience this stunning route in a relaxed and friendly way. The main thing to bear in mind is being on your feet for approximately 8-10 hours. With a little bit of walking under your belt and an enthusiastic attitude we’re sure you’ll have a great day out exploring!

There will not be any parking available as this is a linear route. There are two small carparks where you can be dropped off at the start and collected at the finish. We advise carsharing where possible. 

No, you can simply carry on the Ridgeway trail rather than come off at Wigginton. Please still sign up for the Marathon Distance and notify the marshals at the Wigginton check point. In terms of distance you will still be walking roughly 18 miles. 

Families are welcome, please note it is a long day of physical activity, children (up to age of 17) must be accompanied by a participating adult. One participating adult may take responsibility for up to three under 17 year olds.

We would recommend walking boots but if the trail remains hard and dry then a good pair of trail running trainers would also suffice. Remember, whatever you choose to walk in should be familiar to your feet – blisters from brand new shoes can ruin even the best day out on the trails!

As the Ridgeway is beautifully maintained by the National Trust the entire route is fantastically marked, meaning that although we will provide you with a basic map, it’s unlikely you will need it! Simply look for the ‘Ridgeway’ sign posts or black acorns and you’ll be sure to keep on the right path. 

The route is open to the general public and crosses other footpaths, roads and bridleways so be sure to keep an eye out to ensure you don’t stray off the Ridgeway path! We will have the route well marshalled and there will be check points so it will be hard to get lost!

Yes. Walk Your Ridgeway event is designed to be a rustic local adventure!  As you will be out all day we would advise you bring a packed lunch, sugary treats for energy and at least 500ml-1 litre of water. There will be additional water and light refreshments available at our check points. 

Please always be respectful of other countryside users and always take your litter with you and we can dispose of it at the next checkpoint.

Of course we are always hopeful for good weather for all our outdoor events, but with the great British weather you never know! In a small rucksack we would advise you carry a waterproof jacket, a long-sleeved top, sun hat and sun lotion to cover all weather conditions! A check list of what to take will be provided. 

Well behaved dogs are welcome, providing they are capable of completing the distance. Owners are responsible for clearing up after their dog, keeping them on lead through any livestock fields and carrying enough water for them. Please also consider the weather on the day, large parts of the Ridgeway is in shady woodland but there are some exposed climbs and open countryside which can be very warm for dogs.
