21 MILES. ONE CAUSE. INFINITE IMPACT.

Lace Up Your Boots & Get Ready For ‘It’s Going to Get Hairy’ Movember March 2025 ~ 29th November

On Saturday, 29th November, join us for the ultimate test of grit and determination. A 21-mile community march across the breathtaking, unforgiving beauty of the Purbecks. Don’t let the shorter distance fool you. With limited daylight, unpredictable winter weather, and relentlessly tough terrain, many veterans say this is the hardest of the two marches.

This isn’t just a hike. It’s a battle against the elements and a chance to discover what you’re truly made of. We’re talking brutal hills, muddy trails, biting winds, and views that will steal your breath away (if the climb hasn’t already). Whether you’re a seasoned hiker looking for a challenge or a passionate first-timer ready to prove yourself, this march is certain to test your endurance.

Why We March:

For ourselves, for our community, for those who need us, and in remembrance of Will Pickles. 

This November marks two years since we lost Will, a cherished member of our community who truly understood the power of coming together and pushing through adversity. Will helped build the spirit of camaraderie that defines this march. As we take on the Purbecks this year, we march in his memory and honour the community he helped create.

Every step you take will support the life-changing work of the Nimsdai Foundation, helping to change lives by redefining what is possible through projects that Inspire, Educate and Protect.

Monies raised from this march will be directed to supporting Project Odyssey, a programme that supports veterans and individuals, who suffer from physiological or psychological challenges, on rehabilitative treks to locations like Everest Base Camp and Mount Kilimanjaro.

After a successful summer march raising vital funds, we’re asking all participants to contribute a small optional £5 registration and entry donation which will go directly to supporting the vital work of the Nimsdai Foundation.
