Haltwhistle Challenge

The 4th Haltwhistle Challenge is the closing event of the Spring Walking Festival on Saturday 19th May 2012. The route has lots of variety, history and colour, especially in May. It starts and finishes in Haltwhistle. It includes: a section along the Hadrian’s Wall footpath; an exposed, moorland section of the Pennine Way; a crossing of the much photographed Lambley Viaduct; before a low level return past Featherstone Castle along the South Tyne valley. It will be lambing time, so no dogs are allowed.
The Challenge for walkers is to complete the course within 11 hours; runners will be hand-timed. There are no prizes for the fastest finishers. Starters will be provided with route descriptions on a control card that must be punched at compulsory control points. Entries will be limited to 200 walkers and 100 runners.
To Enter: all entrants must complete the official entry form, (please note age restriction) and pay the entry fee.
