The festival is a fundraiser for Grow Cook Learn, the charity which operates the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre, and all money raised will be used to support the charity’s goals. This year, the money will be used to support the delivery of our education programme, teaching children from inner-city areas about how their food is grown.

For 2025, there is a choice of four events;

the SW80K- 50 miles in 24 hours
the Mammothon- a full-distance trail marathon with a generous 12-hour time limit
the Half-Mammothon, 13 miles with a 6-hour limit
Tusker’s 10K, 6.5 miles in 4 hours.
