Mountains for the Mind
Mountains for the Mind is a campaign from Trail magazine promoting the benefits of being outside for better mental health. We believe in the power of mountains to change lives – and we need your help to spread the word. By pledging your support, you’ll help start conversations about mental health, encourage others to get outdoors, and end the stigma.
Everest Anywhere
Do something amazing in 2021 and climb the height of Everest
Your goal is to climb 8848 metres – the height of the world’s tallest mountain in a year, by adding up your metres of ascent on every hillwalk. It’s easier than you might think – all it takes is one decent mountain day a month, but you can do it by climbing your local hill once a week, in one mega mountain walking holiday, or even with our sofa to summit workout!
Do it for the CHALLENGE - Do it for your HEALTH - Do it for your HAPPINESS
Trail 100
Hand-picked by the experts at Trail magazine, the free Trail 100 challenge will take you from the mighty summits of Scotland to the limestone peaks of the Yorkshire Dales and the gritstone edges of the Peak District. You’ll cross razor-sharp Welsh ridges, lose yourself in Lakeland valleys, explore the weird tors of Dartmoor, discover the dazzling green beauty of the Brecon Beacons, and head across the Irish Sea to the highest point in the Mourne Mountains.
Run 1000 Miles
Running is many things to many people - distance run, times achieved and, perhaps best of all, tackling the impossible. #Run1000Miles will introduce you to endless runners who regularly tell us they’ve done something they never thought possible; be that running one mile, 20, 47 or 1000!
This is a group that encourages, cajoles and helps you achieve something amazing. Nobody is worried if you don’t clock up 1000 - this really is all about simply having fun and running. The depth of knowledge available is nothing short of amazing, but what’s really incredible is the friendly, inclusive way it’s delivered. Runners in the #Run1000Miles group instinctively know what you need, and are more than ready to help!
