Exploring the Rossendale "Round the World Challenge" 2026.

You've heard of the Rossendale Round the Hills Walk, right? Well we're taking it to the next level. We’ve set ourselves a simple challenge at Rossendale Vibes: to walk the distance around the world, TOGETHER.

The total distance is 24,901 miles and every mile logged by members of the Rossendale Vibes Walking Club on Strava counts towards the shared total. Short walks, long hikes, dog walks, exploration days and casual mooches all add up during the year.

This is about getting outside, moving more, exploring the Valley and building a bit of camaraderie along the way. The challenge will run all year, or until we hit the distance, and we’ll share progress as the miles stack up on our socials. If you already walk, you’re halfway there. If you’re just getting started, you’re more than welcome to join us on one of our guided walks.

Join the Rossendale Vibes Walking Club on Strava and add your steps to the journey. There's so much of the valley to explore!
