About us.

The Belvoir Challenge is a 16 or 26 mile event for walkers and runners around the Vale of Belvoir and Belvoir Escarpment in north-east Leicestershire.The annual Belvoir Challenge was set up in 1990 to raise money for Harby Primary School. The event is organised by the 'Friends of Harby School'.

Routes -The routes (26 and 15 miles) follow footpaths, byways, tracks, and minor roads, and with the kind permission of the Duke of Rutland, goes through the Belvoir Estate. Both routes start and finish at Harby School (grid ref SK746312) and are clearly way-marked with coloured tape. There are checkpoints roughly every 5 miles providing free drinks and snacks. (The Belvoir Challenge is well known for the homemade cakes provided, and is one of the few events where you can actually put on weight!) Entrants can retire at checkpoints where transport is available back to the school.
