Congratulations on signing up to the Taylor Wimpey Challenge 2026!
It’s officially time to begin the prep for the Taylor Wimpey Challenge 2026! This year, you’ll be hiking along the beautiful North Devon coastline as well as putting your teamwork and strategy skills to the test at the challenge base at the Ultimate Adventure Centre near Appledore. This is your central hub for everything you need to prepare for the big day – from the challenge itinerary and training guides to the fundraising leaderboard and more.
Make sure you’re well prepared for the challenge by getting in lots of training beforehand. By completing the Taylor Wimpey Challenge, not only will you experience a great sense of achievement, both in knowing you have succeeded in completing the challenge but also that you will have raised vital funds for the Youth Adventure Trust’s work with vulnerable young people.
