The Blue Mile Trail
Did you know that in 2021 we recorded a new Plymouth trail at Mount Batten, it's called the Blue Mile Trail and you can download it in the App Store. So if you don't fancy getting wet, download the App and head off on a nice walk or jog learning more about the heritage of Mount Batten.
Choose your project to support
When you register for the event you will be invited to choose a project to support, or you can select all three. You will also be invited to set up your own fundraising page.
This year we are fundraising for three brilliant projects and would welcome you to set up your own fundraising page. Our 2023 nominated projects are below, please do support their work if you can.
Your registration fee covers the cost of entry and providing you with a professional safety team. If you would like to set up a fundraising page and encourage your supporters to help you reach your target that would be amazing. Alternatively, you can also make a simple donation when you register.
