Join Team Wilder and Run for Wildlife!

Sunday 26th March 2023

Run for wildlife at what is described by event organisers as a 15 mile, off road, hilly and merciless run! Organised by Cheddar Running Club volunteers with all profits going to support local charities, this run will take you over 2,000 feet of hill climbing through our magnificent nature reserves – Black Rock and Velvet Bottom.  This challenge is certainly not for the faint-hearted!

Secure your place today and run for wildlife!

Registration details

If you purchase your own place, we’ll support you to raise as much as you can without being committed to raise a set target. And, if you raise over £150, we'll give you your own 'Team Wilder' performance t-shirt.

Registration fee: from £20
Sponsorship target: £ as much as you can.

Find out more about the run and book your place below.

How your fundraising helps

Being part of Team Wilder is so much more than running a marathon or hiking a mountain, it is your chance to save wildlife for the future, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.

It costs us almost £2,000 a day to manage all of our reserves, so every penny you raise will really help our wonderful wildlife here in Somerset.
