About this event

Welcome to our Hadrian's Wall virtual fitness challenge! This is an exciting opportunity for you to explore one of the most iconic Roman landmarks, Hadrian's Wall, from the comfort of your own home.
We now plant an extra tree in memory of the felling of the Sycamore Gap tree along the Hadrian's Wall route, meaning we will plant 5 trees in total as you complete this challenge.
Our virtual Hadrian's Wall challenge is designed to simulate the experience of hiking along the wall, and to provide you with the same sense of accomplishment as if you were actually there.
Throughout the challenge, you will be able to virtually hike along the wall and learn about the rich history and culture of Roman Britain. You will also be able to connect with a community of like-minded individuals who are also participating in the challenge and share your progress and experiences.
Whether you are an experienced hiker or a beginner, this virtual fitness challenge is open to all fitness levels. The challenge will be adaptable to your own fitness level, so you can work at your own pace and achieve your personal goals.
By participating in this virtual Hadrian's Wall challenge, you will not only improve your physical fitness but also your mental well-being as you experience the sense of accomplishment and connection to history. Join us on this virtual journey and take the first step towards achieving your fitness goals!

Plant real trees as you progress
Climate change is harming our planet, but if we all make a small change, we can make a big impact. By taking part in our challenges, partnered with Ecologi, we will plant a real tree for every 25% of the Hadrian's Wall challenge you complete, helping sequester carbon dioxide in the future.
By the end of the challenge, you will have planted 5 trees. Imagine what we can achieve as a community!
