Malvern Town Council is thrilled to announce that the Mayor’s Peaks Challenge is returning for 2025 in aid of the Mayor’s chosen charity, Cube Youth.
Scale the heights of the Malvern Hills on 3 May as part of the Mayor’s Peaks Challenge 2025. The challenge will see participants take on either the long walk of 18km (approximately 12 miles) or the short walk of 9km (approximately 6 miles) across the Malvern Hills, with both walks finishing in Priory Park. All walkers will receive a sustainable medal, t-shirt and free transport to the start of each of the walks.
The walk will welcome both walkers and their dog friends to the hills, with all registered dogs receiving a dog treat bag and rosette for completing the walk, proudly sponsored by Austin & Co.
Mayor of Malvern Marilyn Birks commented “I’m thrilled to be launching the Mayor’s Peaks Challenge for 2025 with all the money raised going to Cube Youth one of my chosen charities. Cube Youth work with young people of all backgrounds and is inclusive in reaching out to provide social, creative and learning opportunities across all areas of Malvern. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to take the challenge of walking either the long or short walk, it’s going to be such fun and don’t forget that your dog is also welcome to come and walk with you. I want to extend my thanks to ZXLidar for sponsoring our medals and t-shirts and to Austin & Co for supplying the doggy prizes (Rosette and Treat Bag). A great day lies ahead, and I am excited to welcome you all to take part.”
If walking isn’t your thing, then join Malvern Town Council and Cube Youth for an afternoon in Priory Park to welcome the walkers back with live entertainment, light refreshments along with fun family friendly activities.
Early bird tickets for both walks on the 3 May are available now at the Malvern Town Council website, with the long walk costing £19 (normally £22) and the short walk costing £14.40 (normally £17), with all participants receiving a sustainable medal and t-shirt kindly sponsored by ZXLidars as well as travel to start locations of both walks.
