Marvel Fitness to complete the equivalent of the Tour du Mont Blanc for charity

South Hams Trek Challenges are working in partnership with Marvel Fitness to raise much needed funds for Bowel Cancer West and Men’s Minds Matter.

After Marvel's success at raising £13,000 for the Stokenham fire damage victims in 2021, Aaron and his team have decided to take on the monumental challenge of the Tour du Mont Blanc, but in Kingsbridge, on Saturday, 7 December.

Ben Pratt and Aaron Ryder launch the challenge next to the Marvel Fitness stairmaster 

Aaron explained: "The Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the most popular long-distance walks in Europe. It circles the Mont Blanc massif, covering a distance of roughly 170km and passes through parts of Switzerland, Italy and France with an elevation of 34,212 ft.

"We are therefore going to hit the distance using the treadmill and rower and the elevation on the stair master which we have converted to approximately 2,139 floors.

"Our team will be spending 24hrs at Marvel Fitness in a bid to complete this elevation…. or more on the stair master! The challenge will start at midday on Saturday, 7 December.

"Everyone is welcome to come down and support us through the event, but what we would really appreciate is fuel to get us through."

If there are any catering companies or keen cooks out there who would like to be a part of this challenge and supply their brave team with food and nourishment throughout the 24hours, please contact Aaron on 07951 902111 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.
