Please support St Richard's Hospice, our Charity of the Year, and our brave souls competing in this year's Paddle, Plod and Pedal!

This circular, 35-mile route through the beautiful Worcestershire countryside was the brainchild of a team from Natwest RBS who trialled it as a team-building day. St Richard’s Hospice opened up the challenge to its supporters and has proven to be a massive success over the years!

Challengers will:

• Paddle from Pershore to Tewkesbury
• Plod from Tewkesbury to Severn Stoke
• Pedal back to Pershore

This is no easy feat, with a total route of approximately 35 miles. This is an all-day challenge but not a race.

Teams of 6 to 10 will set off in the bell boats from 7 am. Each element of the challenge is between 10 and 12 miles, which will be completed as a team at their own pace.

Challengers will then be welcomed back in Pershore at the end of the challenge for well-deserved refreshments and a medal to celebrate their success.
