Join us Saturday, 24 September, for our 5th Annual UK Trek!

(in person option)

This ‘end of season’ 50 or 25 km event covers some of the most picturesque countryside in the UK. You can Walk, Jog, or Run along historic trails and over rolling hills. Join fellow Ascend supporters and volunteers for a weekend of fun including a celebration at the finish. Camping or local accommodations can be arranged.

Walk alone or with friends, and commit to fundraising for Ascend's programs. Your walk through beautiful countryside enables us to support our alumnae around the world and our work to set up programming in a new country.

We'll take care of the details so you can focus on your training and your fundraising challenge!

Set up your fundraising page (see below on how to do that), ask friend and family to support Ascend, and walk 25k or 50k. The beauty of the virtual event is that you can choose a different weekend to walk if September 24 doesn't work; or you can break your trek into smaller hikes over a week or a few weekends.

Be sure to tag Ascend in any photos of your virtual event!
