Why take part?

Achievement. Respect. Teamwork.

With such an epic challenge the rewards for you, your team and the people you are helping, are huge.

But don't just take our word for it - check out what some of the past participants have to say about their experience.

Recognition

Trailtrekker is recognised around the world as one seriously impressive challenge. Gain a new level of respect from colleagues, friends, and family when you are able to say: “Yes, I’ve done it!”

"Quite simply the best team event I have taken part in. From start to finish, excellent support, stunning scenery and the knowledge that you are making a positive difference to the lives of those less fortunate make this a 'must do' experience."

Grahame Smee, Hart Hill Walkers

Adventure

How many people do you know who can say that once, they set out on a real challenge with a team of friends, to walk 100km in 30hrs? This is the stuff that makes great adventure stories – a real life experience, that you will look back on and be able to tell your grandchildren.

Charity

The funds that you raise in Trailtrekker are significant – this is one challenge where you can actually see the impact in a big way. Oxfam would be delighted to talk to you about just how your funds will be used. Find out more about What it's all for.

Energy

Sometimes we need a goal to motivate us to get out and improve our fitness. And the difference it makes to the way you feel when you do, is huge. Follow some basic training for Trailtrekker and you will feel energised, invigorated and ready for anything

Friendships

The shared experience of doing Trailtrekker and being part of a real team is something that you just can’t get anywhere else. From new friendships that open new doors for you at work to quality time with old friends – it makes all the difference.

Pride

Proving to yourself and to others just what you are made of, not only makes everyone else sit up and listen but also gives you the self-belief and vision of what you CAN achieve.
