If something’s worth doing, it’s worth doing again and again! That’s exactly how the Marine Conservation Society feels about The Coastal Challenge – which is why we’re re-launching it for 2010.
Since 2006, supporters and fundraisers matched the distance around the UK coastline – that’s a massive 11,477miles – by any means they could.
With every step taken, ran, rowed, dived and kayaked, a staggering £46,068.53 was raised for MCS.
Now for 2010, you can do it all again…or you can dip your toe in the Coastal Challenge for the very first time. There is so much of the UK coastline that hasn’t been covered by the Coastal Challenge, so get out there, explore the countryside and get sponsored!
