The Great Wall of China 2027
Tackle the Great Wall – a journey like no other
Join us on this once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure as we take on the legendary Great Wall of China from 9-17 October 2027.
We have partnered with Global Adventure Challenges to bring you this extraordinary challenge.
About the trek
Your charity challenge will see you spend five days trekking along one of the greatest man‑made structures on earth. You’ll tackle steep stone steps, winding pathways and the iconic Heavenly Ladder, all while passing ancient watchtowers and taking in sweeping views of rolling green hills.
This is a physically demanding challenge, but with teamwork, determination and the support of experienced local guides, every participant will have the chance to conquer this remarkable route.
Beyond the Wall itself, you’ll immerse yourself in the culture and history of China’s capital. The itinerary includes opportunities to explore Beijing’s most famous landmarks, such as the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Temple of Heaven.
Together, we will conquer the Great Wall of China!
