< BackSpire to Spire Trekathon

Location: Winchester Cathedral to Salisbury Cathedral
Date: August 21 2010

A Tough Test of Endurance

The Spire to Spire Trekathon is a tough event over the rolling downs and water-meadows between the historic cities of Winchester & Salisbury. At 26 miles, it forms an enormous challenge for walkers; you can run or jog if you prefer.

A Beautiful Setting

This is a beautiful, diverse trek over marathon distance, which links two of England's most famous and impressive cathedrals. The route will take you through picturesque English countryside and villages as you head west through farmland, woodland and quiet chalk valleys. You will cross the lovely River Test and follow an ancient Roman road towards the beautiful market city of Salisbury.

How Fit do you Need to be?

This is not a competitive event and you can go at your own pace, however it is a long and tough one-day walk and it is consequently vital that you train sufficiently hard for it. There is a halfway exit point, so if you feel the full distance will be too much you can choose to exit at 13 miles.

When and Where?

The event takes place over one day on Saturday 21st August and will start at around 7am. The start point is at Winchester Cathedral, Wessex.
