THE FALKLANDS CHALLENGE 2026
Returning for a fifth successive year, The Falklands Challenge has become a hugely poignant and very popular event which honours those who served in the South Atlantic in 1982.
The 10-mile 'yomp' follows a route along the South West Coast Path from Instow Beach to RMB Chivenor, taking in stunning views and passing through Yelland, Fremington, Bickington, Barnstaple and Heanton before finishing at the memorial garden at RMB Chivenor.
All participants receive a bespoke commemorative medal and those who choose to fundraise and exceed £75, will also receive a free VC T-Shirt as a thank you.
Open to all ages and for those unable to make it to North Devon for the live event, there is a virtual option too!
Registrations for the 2026 event will open on 1st August 2025!
THE FORCES MARCH IS COMING BACK FOR 2027 - registrations will open soon!
We are excited to say that our hugely popular challenge event, The Forces March, returned in great style for 2025 and will be back, bigger and better than ever, for 2027!
Based in a legendary ww2 training march from Ilfracombe to Bulford, the event is held over 5 consecutive days and attracts people from all backgrounds who come together to take on the stunning and highly demanding all-road route.
The Forces March is enjoyed by serving military, Veterans, civilians and both corporate and emergency services teams.
Participants join either as individuals or as a team, running or walking to follow in the footsteps of the heroes of WW2.
The 135-mile route begins in the famous North Devon coastal town of Ilfracombe and heads across Exmoor, into rural Somerset, across the Levels and winds its way into Wiltshire and across Salisbury Plain before finishing at Bulford Camp.
