About the Event

Head to the scenic Shropshire hills for the Corvedale Cake Walk on Saturday, 25th April 2026, a quintessential Long Distance Walkers Association (LDWA) challenge renowned for its legendary refreshments and beautiful routes. Offering a choice between a 22-mile challenge or a 10-mile route, this event welcomes both dedicated walkers and runners to explore the stunning landscapes around Holdgate, including the summit of Abdon Burf and the iconic Wenlock Edge. True to its delicious name, the event is famous for its well-stocked checkpoints overflowing with homemade cakes, sandwiches, and hot drinks, with hot dogs awaiting all finishers at the end. Organized by the Marches LDWA group, all proceeds support local church communities, adding a wonderful sense of purpose to your day out in the countryside. With a friendly, community-focused atmosphere, the event requires participants to bring their own mug and suitable clothing for the changeable April weather in this livestock country. Whether you're a seasoned LDWA member or new to challenge events, the 2026 Cake Walk promises a perfect blend of hearty exercise, stunning views, and fantastic homemade fare—a truly satisfying way to spend a spring day in Central England.
