Walk the Path for Wellbeing to span three counties in 2026

Taking place on Sunday 10 and Monday 11 May, the challenge will see participants come together to celebrate the spectacular West Wales coastline through walking and other forms of active travel, while highlighting the powerful links between nature, movement and wellbeing. A reserve weekend of 17 and 18 May has also been set aside in the event of a severe weather warning.

Building on feedback from last year, the event will now unfold over two days rather than one, giving more people the chance to get involved and creating a longer window for celebration, storytelling and community spirit.

While last year’s challenge focused on the 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coast, this year will see sections of Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion included, bringing even more communities into the shared coastal celebration.

The two-day event features self-led sections for group entry. With the focus firmly on enjoyment, there is no pressure to finish every stage and participants are encouraged to do only as much as they feel comfortable with. Together, those individual efforts will add up to a shared mission to cover the full 313 miles of coastline.

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority’s Health and Wellbeing Officer, Angela Robinson, said: “The coast has an extraordinary ability to lift people, connect communities and create lasting memories. By extending the event across two days and into neighbouring counties, we’re opening the door to even more people to celebrate that connection together – and share their experiences on social media.”

Pure West Radio will once again help promote the challenge, helping to spread the word and share the stories of those taking part.
