Circuit of Bath returns in September 2024

On the Sunday 22nd September, Julian House hosts its 23rd annual Circuit of Bath charity walk, not only a vital fundraiser, but a much-loved fixture on the local calendar.

Challenge yourself to take on the full 22 mile route – or a distance of your choosing – with checkpoints open 7:30-18:30.

How to book your tickets and more information: Circuit of Bath Walk | Every step makes a difference

Route details:

The circular route takes you along the beautiful outskirts of Bath, on a diverse terrain of footpaths, canal paths, fields through to hills which provide walkers with stunning views from Little Solsbury Hill, Lansdown, and Millennium Viewpoint.

You can start from any of the 5 checkpoints mentioned below which are opened from 07:30 – 18:30 Walkers will receive their route directions at their chosen starting checkpoint and as each section is completed the map will be stamped at the checkpoints. The route is fully signposted, due to a collaboration with Bathscape and Cotswolds National Landscape.

How the Circuit of Bath helps Julian House

Over the last  22 years, our Circuit of Bath Walk has brought together thousands of individuals all willing to make a difference and walk that extra mile to help Julian House.  In 2023, over 500 participants took part raising over £40,000, and this year Julian House hopes to grow this number to encourage more people to get involved and walk this spectacular route.

“The Circuit of Bath Walk is an important event for everyone of all ages. Participants get an incredible sense of achievement from walking 20 miles over challenging terrain, but also the knowledge that the sponsorship they raise will help to rebuild lives. By taking part, you are enabling us to support at-risk people in our emergency hostel and domestic abuse refuge. You will literally be helping to save lives”. Gavin Osborn, Community and Events Fundraiser

Every step counts on the Circuit of Bath Walk and by raising sponsorship you will be helping us to provide life-changing support to over 2,000 vulnerable men, women and children across the South West. So sign up today! Circuit of Bath Walk | Every step makes a difference
