Charity Challenge 2026
It’s that time again, the annual Moffat MRT Charity Challenge!
Join the team for a fun day both on Moffat and around Kinnelhead and Queensbury, with 4 walks to choose from there is something for all abilities, and even the smallest of Munro-baggers!
This is a great opportunity to get out in the hills and enjoy all that the area has to offer.
After many years of not increasing our entry fees, this year regrettably we have taken the decision to make a moderate increase to help offset the rising costs of running the event. We are however sure that you will agree it still offers great value for money.
As in previous years participants will receive a free burger/refreshment on completion of the walk, and a limited edition t-shirt. We will however only be able to guarantee a t-shirt to those pre-registering for the event. We will also have limited capacity to change t-shirt sizes so please order carefully!
Size charts are available here: Women Men Child
Of course Moffat MRT is a charity and relies on the generosity of the public to keep running. Therefore we encourage those people that are able to consider further fundraising in the form of sponsorship to help the team (please note irrespective of fundraising activity all participants must still purchase an entry ticket).
We look forward to seeing you on the day…and thank you in advance.
