Sundon Saunter

15th Steppingley Step

The Steppingley Step is a countryside walking and running event based at Barton-le-Clay Village Hall (MK45 4JY). Routes follow mainly field paths, tracks, woods and some roads through undulating countryside with views from the hills traversed.

Courses offered:

• 12 Miles (walkers only)
• 18 Miles
• 26 Miles

The event uses mapped route descriptions and published checkpoints. The 12 mile route has one checkpoint, the 18 mile route has two checkpoints and the 26 mile route has three checkpoints. Checkpoint opening and closing times are strictly adhered to.

Entries are by online entry only and include a fee structure: LDWA members £10, non LDWA £15, under 18s free. Priority entry for LDWA members is offered during a defined period before general entry opens. A £2 administration fee applies to cancellations advised before 1 November 2026; after that date refunds are not normally given unless a place is filled from the waiting list.

Entrants must download and print their own route description; route descriptions and GPX files will be published on the organiser website by 5 November 2026. Maps covering the routes are OS LR153, LR166 or OS EXP193 and marked up maps will be displayed at the start.

Dogs are allowed on leads at all times but are not permitted inside halls except assistance dogs. The entry fee includes drinks, biscuits at the start, snacks at checkpoints and a light meal at the finish. Vegetarian options will be provided and some vegan options may be available but cannot be guaranteed. Refreshments may be prepared under uncontrolled conditions and entrants should judge suitability for their own dietary needs.

Awards include a certificate for all finishers and a badge on request. Completion of this event also contributes to the organiser's Triple Challenge when combined with the Shillington Shuffle and the Sundon Saunter. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
