THE BROWN DOG CHARNWOOD FOREST CHALLENGE – saturday 7th june 2025
Our much anticipated annual challenge is back this June in the outstanding picturesque Charnwood Forest.
Choose from the much-awaited 16-mile walk or join the group almost halfway to complete a shorter 6-mile walk. The forest landscape has inspired artists for generations and your excursion is one to remember! A rich area for wildlife and an inspiring UNESCO Global Geopark, Charnwood Forest is a hilly tract of outstanding natural beauty.
Imagine the crisp morning air buzzing with energy as dozens of enthusiastic walkers gather, their excitement contagious. As the walk begins, you will feel the rhythmic pulse of feet hitting the tracks, surrounded by an incredible sense of unity and purpose. Every step will bring new sights – winding trails and serene paths – each moment filled with inspiration as participants share stories and encourage one another. As you will near the finish line, adrenaline will surge with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. The experience is unforgettable, the journey is breathtaking, and don’t forget to fundraise as much as possible!
