Thanks for taking the time to read about our half-marathon challenge to raise funds for The Birchall Trust, a cause close to our hearts.

About our challenge:

To fundraise for and raise awareness of The Birchall Trust, at Her Lancaster we decided to organise this half-marathon charity hike! As a womens+ community group, the incredible and much-needed Birchall Trust is a charity close to our hearts and we want to do what we can to help them.

The hike takes a beautiful route, following the coastline and the Lancaster canal in sections. A route map will be provided for participants, which roughly follows the following direction: Silverdale → Warton Crag → Carnforth → Hest Bank → Morecambe. The terrain is a mixture of woodland footpaths, fields, gravel canal paths and paved sections, it has hilly sections and a number of gates and stiles.

📅 Date: Saturday 25th April 2026

⏰ Start Time: 9:30 AM

🚶‍♂️ Length: 13.1 miles | 21 km

⏳ Predicted Duration: 6 hours 30 minutes (including breaks)

📍 Start Location: Silverdale Train Station

🏁 End Location: The Birchall Trust, Morecambe

We are so thrilled that our friends at Birchall will be hosting us at the end of the hike! We will be celebrating at their space in Morecambe, as the perfect place to congratulate one another on our achievements and to remind ourselves who our hard work was for!

We are really excited to fundraise, train for, and complete this event. We appreciate any and all donations.
