Cheltenham Circular Challenge
 
The Cheltenham Circular Footpath is 26.2 miles long and encircles Cheltenham. The route is based upon existing rights of way and is clearly signed. By using these signs in conjunction with the Route Guide you should easily be able to find your way around the route.  All stretches of the route have their appeal and pass through very attractive countryside with fine views.
The Challenge

Participants can run or walk any number of the four sections and raise sponsorship money for the charity of their choice. The nominated charity can then claim Gift Aid on the Sponsorship raised, where applicable.   Alternatively entrants can donate their sponsorship monies to Rotary charities.
