• Challenge Overview

    It’s back! Following the success of last years Hike Bike Paddle event, we’re delighted to have you on board for Hike Bike Paddle 2024. The event will enable the outdoor industry to come together and challenge themselves while inspiring young lives.

    Teams should be made up of 4-6 people who can either enter the whole challenge or do the event as a relay (minimum numbers on each section will apply). You will need to ensure that at least two members can navigate with a map and compass and it’s definitely best if a couple of you are able to swim. Don’t worry if you haven’t got a team – you can still take part and we will team you up. You will be timed and yes there are prizes!

    As a participant on the Hike Bike Paddle event, you can expect:

    • One day fully supported challenge, including: fully qualified mountain guides to support you on route, medical support, bike mechanic, paddle activity plus water based support and event tracking/timing chips
    • Post challenge celebration including food
    • Prizes
    • A dedicated events officer and full pre-event support, including: training advice, logistical help and fundraising resources
