FOLLOW THE SEAGULLS CHARITY WALK
WHITBY, NORTH YORKSHIRE
13-14 SEPTEMBER 2025
TWO DAY CHALLENGE
ONE DAY CHALLENGE
Moorland, ancient monuments, waterfalls, stunning coastal views and smuggler's coves. This challenge, starting in Whitby, has it all.
We get together for the start on both days and meet up at various points over the weekend, but you will step into the role of navigator on this self-supported walk. There’ll be trails to stick to, and fellow walkers to join up with, but you’ll have to consult your maps which will be annotated and provided to navigate your way around. Whether you choose to walk alone or as part of a group, we will ensure you have an amazing experience!
“For someone considering this challenge in the future I’d say absolutely do it. Not only was it an epic physical and mental challenge, it was also one of the most humbling and rewarding adventures I’ve been on. It was an incredible achievement and opportunity to truly see the best in people; sharing stories, support and collective goals. As the aches begin to fade, my gratitude for this amazing charity, and the people it has connected me with, just grows stronger and stronger.” - Sammy (2019)
We ask that you raise vital funds in sponsorship to help brainstrust change the world for the brain tumour community. In return we will provide you with a brainstrust t-shirt, medal, annotated maps, dinner on the Saturday night, as well as constant support from when you register, through to when you get to the finish line. To top it off, you will be presented with a finishers medal as you complete this epic 50 mile challenge.
CONQUER THE CHALLENGE AS A TEAM
Walking as a team can be great motivation to keep you on track with your training, and with a shared fundraising target of £1000 for team entries, you'll find it easier to smash your target and raise the vital funds that make all the difference
