Discover hidden parts of one of the world’s most stunning cities with the MS Superstars team!
Based in the heart of Edinburgh the trek will take you to the summit of Edinburgh’s 7 hills that surround the city. You’ll follow historic waterways, forgotten railways, stop off at castles and palaces and climb to the summit of an extinct volcano!
With a challenging 35km and 900m of ascent to conquer his challenge is a significant test of your endurance and will leave you with a real sense of achievement.
This challenge is graded as tough.
It is the perfect challenge for participants who are of an adventurous spirit and an open mind, who have taken part in other walking challenges and now wish to test themselves in a slightly more extreme environment.
You can tell your supporters that on your Edinburgh 7 Summits Challenge you will be:
It's a long, sustained event of up to 10 hours on varied terrain.
Therefore, it requires a good level of fitness. The ideal training for this challenge is, naturally, walking along similar terrain. However, if you do not have the luxury of living near the great outdoors, then the gym or walking in your local area are good places to start.
Most training should be part of an ongoing lifestyle, but if this is not the case then you should begin training 4-6 months prior to the challenge and gradually build up. Remember to use the clothes, equipment and especially the shoes that you will be wearing on the challenge in order to get them worn in. The more you exercise before the challenge, the more you will get out of it. Fitness training notes nd advice are provided when you sign up.
