Challenge achieved!

The 2009 Challenge took place on Saturday 6 June 2009

We did it!

Many of you will be familiar with previous mountain challenges that WaterAid has become famous for over the last decade, including The Munro and Corbett Challenges.

In 2008 we introduced a brand new mountain challenge event, The WaterAid Trail100. We just missed out on achieving it in 2008 but in 2009 we did it - a team walked each of the Trail100 mountains on Saturday 6 June 2009. Well done!

History

We ran the Trail100 Challenge for the first time in June 2008 and it was a tremendous success. We had around 2,000 walkers out on the day and to date have raised more than £200,000 for WaterAid projects in Africa and Asia. Find out more about the 2008 Challenge here.

However, in one important aspect we failed - we did not achieve our Challenge of getting a team of walkers on the top of every one of the Trail 100 mountains. As a result we ran the Challenge again in 2009 and this time, thanks to you, we did it.

Fundraising

Now the important bit! The Challenge may have been achieved, but the final challenge is to beat last year's fundrasing total. Please, start chasing that sponsorship money!
