Why Walk the Surrey 5 Peaks Charity Challenge

Surrey 5 Peaks is a one day charity walking challenge through the beautiful Surrey Hills. Choose the 13 mile route to Wotton, with transport back to the start included, or challenge yourself with the full 26 mile circular route.

Come with friends, family or colleagues, or take part on your own. Our friendly marshals and checkpoint teams will support you along the way as you enjoy the views, meet other walkers and work towards a finish line moment to be proud of.

What our walkers say

“The Surrey 5 Peaks really is an adventure not to be missed. I speak from experience! Expert organisation, stunning Surrey Hills countryside, the challenge of the peaks, fresh air and the chance to meet other walkers all make the day something very special.”

Teresa, long-time Surrey 5 Peaks walker

Make Every Step Count

We ask each walker to work towards raising £100. We know that can feel daunting, but there is no single right way to reach it. You could ask friends, family or colleagues for sponsorship, use matched giving through your employer or choose a combination that works for you.

You will receive a fundraising guide, and our friendly team is happy to help with ideas and advice. Every pound you raise helps SCT support people in our local community. For Emma, that support meant having a mentor she trusted as she rebuilt her confidence and secured a place on the college course she wanted.
