Event summary
Organiser's Description
The ‘Severn Challenge’ is split into five stages, over a five day period. Within the five stages are five unique races in their own right, with each day having a bespoke finisher medal. Complete all five stages and you get all five medals, which are designed as a jigsaw and will replicate a precise miniature scale of the route. In addition any competitor completing the ‘Severn Challenge’ in less than thirty-six hours will receive the ‘soon to be coveted’ ‘Severn Challenge’ jacket.
You will be staying in booked accommodation at the Mid Wales Arts Centre, Maesmawr, Caesws, Newtown SY17 5SB at the end of day 1, The Premier Inn end of day 2, The Worcester Travelodge end of day 3, and The Stonehouse Travelodge end of Day 4.
The Severn Challenge is without doubt one of the toughest races in the UK. Over the last seven years the finisher rate is around 26%. Compare those statistics with other events that promote themselves as “the toughest” and then decide if this is for you.
