About the Lincolnshire Wolds Heroes Hike

Your adventure begins in the charming town of Market Rasen.
You'll hike through scenic countryside and woodlands, following a stretch of the Viking Way walking trail. Keep your eyes peeled—you might just spot deer, sheep, or even a barn owl along the way!
This hiking challenge is 27km and will take approximately 6-8 hours.
Suitable for all experience levels. This hike offers one of our flattest routes with an ascent of only 300m over the whole hike.

This challenge is bespoke to Help for Heroes and is organised and managed by our event provider, RAW Adventures.
