Trekfest: Peak District @ Peak District, North England

Trek Fest

Now in its 4th year, TrekFest is fast becoming the UK’s best charity walk. Taking place in the stunning Peak District, TrekFest offers participants a choice to complete one of four demanding trekking routes between 25 – 100km.

TrekFest is tough…there’s no getting away from that fact – but it is achievable, as thousands of trekkers over the last three years will testify to. Yes, it hurts; yes, it will push you; yes, there are moments when you will doubt yourself – BUT, you can and will succeed with the right physical training and mental preparation. Whether you’re a first timer or a hardened TrekFester; whatever your reasons for signing up; whatever you hope to achieve, TrekFest will push you to your limits but prove that anything is possible.

Sep 11 @ 10:00 am – 3:00 pm

 

Bike Oxford

Bike Oxford is a day of marked rides of 25, 50 and 80 miles taking in the best scenery of Oxford and the surrounding countryside.

In 2015, seven brilliant cyclists rode across Oxfordshire for Restore, raising a whopping £1075 – including Chris who cycled 80 miles on a CARGO bike! The atmosphere of the day was fantastic, with riders being treated to food stops along the way, cheered across the finish line, and making the most of the post-cycle beer tent.

Entry is free for all Restore fundraisers, and you even get a jazzy Restore t-shirt.

How?

1. Register your interest here (please include the distance you’d like to cycle – 25, 50 or 80 miles).

We are offering free places to all our cyclists (usually worth £33), we just ask that you raise £100 for Restore.
