Three routes, two days, one finish.

Cheshire Hike is an annual event run by Cheshire Scouts for Scouts and Guides aged 10½ to 17 across the county.

On 26-27th September 2026, 850+ young people will take part in the 58th Cheshire Hike, walking 30km to 60km across the Cheshire countryside. Teams compete across three age categories and multiple team sizes, camping overnight at basecamp before completing the challenge the following day. Start and finish locations remain a secret until two weeks before the event.

An event of this scale is only possible thanks to 250+ volunteers who help deliver Cheshire Hike each year.

Bookings open 25th April. Read more in advance below.
