Gower Peninsula Challenge 2025

19 – 20 July 2025

Walk, jog or run the Gower Peninsula Challenge for Deafblind UK!

100 / 50 / 25 or 10 km challenge

A new Ultra Challenge for 2025, set in the stunning Gower Peninsula – the UK’s first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and famous for its golden beaches, limestone cliffs, wild moors, ridges, and woodlands. Basecamp is in the grounds of the historic Penrice Castle, with weekend camping options and the 100km challenge is a figure of 8 route made up of west & east loops which take in the best of the Peninsula, its history, and its varied, unique landscape. With 50km, Marathon, 25km, and 10K challenge options, as well as a bar & entertainment at basecamp – this event will be the highlight of the season!

Sign up for the Gower Peninsula Challenge for Deafblind UK and achieve something really special! By choosing to fundraise for Deafblind UK with your Gower Peninsula Challenge, you will enable us to continue providing vital support to thousands of people living with dual sensory loss each year.

What’s included?

  • Pre-event training guides and access to the challenge app
  • Hot meals, drinks and snacks en-route
  • Experienced marshals, medics and massage teams at rest stops
  • Fully-signed route
  • Finisher’s medal, t-shirt and a glass of bubbly


Fundraising options:

With £3 million needing to be raised each year to fund Deafblind UK’s full range of services, the difference your support makes cannot be overstated. Every £25 that you raise could pay for another hour of specialist wellbeing support for someone who is deafblind.

Choose your challenge distance and fund your entry in one of three ways:

  • Self-funding – you pay the full cost of the event place with no minimum fundraising commitment – just raise as much as you can!
  • Charity sponsorship – you pay a reduced registration fee and, providing you reach the fundraising goal, Deafblind UK will cover the cost of your event place
  • Mixed funding – you pay half of the event place cost yourself and, providing you reach the fundraising goal, Deafblind UK will pay the balance of the event place cost

Please note: when taking part in Ultra Challenge events you are asked to pledge to raise a sponsorship target when registering for ‘charity sponsorship’ and ‘mixed funding’ options. The sponsorship target depends on the distance of your challenge.
