In a moment of madness the Steel City Old Boys signed up to Trailwalker 2013! On 27-28th July we are joining 550 other teams to take part in the original Gurkha challenge and will run/walk (walk!) 100km across the South Downs. 

Trailwalker was originally started over 30 years ago as a training exercise to test soldiers’ stamina and teamwork skills. The Challenge is to complete the 100km trail across the South Downs in less than 30 hours in teams of four. Is it tough? Of course. Is it worth it?

To give you an idea of the scale of the challenge ahead, the Trailwalker route’s distance and elevation is equivalent of 2 and a half marathons and climbing Ben Nevis and Snowdon!

The hike is in aid of two brilliant charities: Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust.
