Walking with purpose: Hundreds of hikers took on the Circuit of Bath Walk

Circuit of Bath was back in for it's 23rd year! Torrential rain didn’t dampen the spirits of 500 walkers who took on the soggy yet rewarding route.

The walk this year was made even more difficult due to the relentless downpour of rain which persisted throughout the entire day adding an extra challenge for the contestants to overcome and making their achievement even more impressive.

This year we were proud to be sponsored by Achieve Breakthrough who have had a long-standing relationship with Julian House and took part in completing the full walk. Lead Consultant Della Owen said: “Achieve Breakthrough is so proud to sponsor the Circuit of Bath Walk, helping Julian House in their mission to ensure socially excluded people are supported and empowered to build sustainable, independent lives.

It was a year soundtracked by squelching shoes and rain-drenched route maps, with so many people learning that their clothes weren’t quite as waterproof as advertised!

Despite all that, there was so much joy, so many smiles, and so many people determined to support Julian House, from walkers to volunteers.

We couldn’t host our charity events without the help of local businesses and communities who give their time and donations to ensure that this vital fundraiser ran smoothly. From our brilliant sponsors to kind donations, we wanted to express our gratitude to everyone who has taken part.
