Take on the Gower – Every Step Makes a Difference for Young People with Cancer

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure in one of the UK’s most stunning coastal landscapes – and raise vital funds for Teenage Cancer Trust.

The Gower Peninsula Ultra Challenge explores golden beaches, dramatic limestone cliffs, wild moors, ridges, and woodlands – all packed into a spectacular figure-of-eight route. Starting from basecamp, you’ll take on two varied loops (east and west) that showcase the very best of this unique corner of Wales.

Choose to walk, jog, or run – solo or as part of a team – and go for the full 100km, or tackle a 50km, 25km, or 10km option. However you take it on, this is your chance to push yourself while helping support young people facing cancer.

With weekend camping options, full hospitality and medical support, plenty of food & drink, and a finisher’s medal, T-shirt, and celebration at the finish line – it’s a weekend you won’t forget.

Step up in 2026 – take on the Gower Peninsula Ultra Challenge and make a real impact for young people living with cancer.

Why support Teenage Cancer Trust

We create world class cancer services for young people in the UK, providing life-changing care and support so young people don’t have to face cancer alone.

Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”. They will each need specialised nursing care and support to get them through the toughest times they may have faced.

We’re the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need. By choosing to run for Teenage Cancer Trust, you can help us to reach every young person facing cancer and make a huge difference.

So you know we’re the real deal, these are our registered charity details: 1062559 (England & Wales), SC039757 (Scotland).
