Join Shelter for an 18-mile trek over the iconic Hadrian's Wall. Challenge yourself, get active and step up to help end the housing emergency.
Whether you're an experienced hiker or a first-time adventurer, we'd love for you to join the team. We'll walk a linear route from Walltown to Chollerford, along some of the most spectacular sections of Hadrian's Wall. The challenge will take about eight and a half hours to complete.
Get your family, friends or colleagues together and lace up those hiking boots! Prepare for an unforgettable day of fun, stunning views and the satisfaction of knowing you're walking for a purpose.
You must be over 14 years old to take part in the Hadrian's Wall Challenge. Anyone under 18 needs written permission from their parent or guardian.
What you get from us:
a fully qualified mountain guide for the entire walk, who will make sure you don't miss the best sights and photo opportunities
ongoing fundraising support from our Events team
access to a private Facebook event group with training tips
a full kit list
a Shelter branded t-shirt
a finisher goodie bag sponsored by Starbucks Sunderland

Fundraising for Shelter
We ask that you raise at least £100 to support people experiencing homelessness or housing issues. Please make sure that you're confident in reaching the fundraising pledge before you sign up.
To start, we recommend that you set up a fundraising page on JustGiving and ask friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. You can also organise an event such as a bake sale or quiz.
Our friendly team are here to support you with your fundraising. If you have a question or would like to discuss ideas, please email Jess Sullivan, Regional Community Fundraiser, at jess_sullivan@shelter.org.uk.
