Hallow 12 Parish Challenge

The Hallow 12 Parish Challenge is an off-road event starting in the village of Hallow. The circular routes traverse 12 different local parishes, utilizing public footpaths to showcase the countryside scenery near Worcester. Participants may choose to walk, jog, or run their selected distance. All courses are waymarked at key points to assist with navigation.

Participants can choose from five distinct distances:

  • 10 miles
  • 14 miles
  • 19 miles
  • 27.5 miles
  • 40 miles

The event provides infrastructure to support participants throughout the day. Registration includes tea and coffee, while the check points located approximately every 5 miles along the routes offer drinks and snacks. The number of check points varies by distance, ranging from one for the 10 mile route to six for the 40 mile route.

The start and finish area is located at the Hallow Scout Hut on the Playing Fields. A hot meal is served to participants at the finish line, and a certificate is provided upon completion. All participants must complete their chosen route by 21:30. Route descriptions and maps are distributed to entrants via email prior to the event date.
