Leaden Boot Challenge

Alstonefield, United Kingdom • 18 May 2025

The Leaden Boot Challenge is a 26.2-mile walk/run event held in Alstonefield, designed to raise funds for local causes. Established in response to the theft of lead from St. Peter's Church in 2010, the event has since raised approximately £60,000 for various community initiatives.

Participants face a challenging course with 4,800 feet of ascent and descent, featuring six manned checkpoints offering refreshments and support. The event is open to both walkers and runners, and all finishers receive certificates and badges. Local food is provided at the finish, making it a fun and rewarding experience for all involved.
