Challenge Yourself and Build Better Futures
Get ready for the 2027 Housebuilder Challenge! We’re taking on a spectacular new 20-mile route set in another stunning location. Taking around 8 to 10 hours, this challenge is the ultimate blend of team-building, networking with fellow construction and housebuilding industry leaders, and making a life-changing impact through fundraising. After completing the trek, we’ll swap our walking boots for a celebration dinner to toast everyone’s achievements and raise a glass together.
We are currently putting the final touches on our 2027 plans, so register your interest today to be the first to know when full details are released!
Teams & Navigation: Teams of 4 to 6 people complete the route together and must finish as a group. At least one team member should be able to navigate using a map and compass. The challenge is timed, with prizes across selected categories.
Entry Fees: A registration fee is required per team upon sign-up to secure your place. Teams are responsible for their own travel and accommodation costs, though dinner is included at the post-challenge gala.
Fundraising & Support: Each team works toward a fundraising target that directly supports the Youth Adventure Trust’s work with vulnerable young people. We provide ongoing support, including phone check-ins, fundraising resources, and training advice to help you reach your target.
Accommodation: Booking accommodation for the night before and the night of the challenge is recommended due to the early start. A list of local accommodation options will be provided.
If you have any questions before signing up, please get in touch with Ally McCarthy or Jen Little, who will be happy to help.
