The Big Devon March returns for 2018

The Big Devon March, a campaign from Active Devon, is back this Spring challenging businesses to form a small team, log some walks and complete the length of a virtual South West Coast Path.

The Big Devon March is back for 2018, challenging every work place in Devon to walk a little more and complete the length of a virtual South West Coast Path.

The Big Devon March is a Devon - wide walking campaign being run by Active Devon on behalf of Devon County Council. It’s all about inspiring us to be creative in the ways we fit more walking into our everyday routines.

Join in with teams of up to 6 people. All that’s required is to walk more, log your distance and win prizes. It’s all completely free and lots of fun.

This year, Active Devon have teamed up with the South West Coast Path. This national walking trail is 630 miles long. For every mile you walk during March, either alone or with your team members, to or from work, in the evening or at weekends, your progress will be plotted along this iconic trail. If you’d l ike to use the challenge as a way of raising money for charity, you could consider investing back into the South West Coast Path Association which has to maintain all 630 miles of path all year round, for public benefit.

Exeter University’s campus strongly backs the campaign: “It gives staff the opportunity to get away from their desk during lunchtime and what we tend to find is people that come out on these walks, actually find when they go back to their office they are refocused, fresh, they’ve got new ideas on what they’re working on and are really keen to get stuck back into work.”
