The Big BaNES 100K 2025
Event dates: –
Walkers, runners, cyclists, and water lovers! We are inviting you to take part in this year’s Big BaNES 100k - a flexible, nature-based challenge supporting local youth charities Mentoring Plus and Off The Record (OTR).
We are inviting local residents to cover 100km in any way they choose - be it walking, cycling, swimming, or paddling. Participants are encouraged to raise money for every step, pedal, and paddle they take.
Every pound raised will help local young people aged 5-25 access vital mental health and wellbeing support, and help protect these lifeline programmes from devastating funding cuts.
Thank you for your interest and we hope you will sign up for this year's challenge.

Our updates
Hey Big BaNES 100k fundraisers! here's a great opportunity to clock up some extra kilometres and invite your family, friends and colleagues to a fun, inclusive cycle event this Sunday 14th September at Odd Down Cycle Track. It's free & traffic-free. Bring your own bike, or try one from All Cycle Bath & West and Bath BMX Club.
Join OTR and Mentoring Plus and help us raise vital funds for supporting local young people with their emotional wellbeing. Thank you!
Great news! The Big BaNES 100k has raised more than £2,000 so far! There are still six weeks to go until the challenge ends. That’s plenty of time to get those kilometres in, invite donations, or get involved.
With all funds raised through this flexible fundraiser being equally divided between Mentoring Plus and Off The Record, we wanted to share how £1,200 can make an impact, and help change the lives of young people facing tough challenges:
Mentoring Plus - £1,200 funds a whole year of group activity days for primary-aged mentees, giving them a relaxed and safe space to connect during the holidays, when mentoring is on pause. Supported by practitioners, mentees can develop friendships, learn new skills, build confidence, and improve their wellbeing in local settings such as Bath City Farm, The Holburne Museum, and Greyfield Woods.
Off The Record - £1,200 gives 12 young people who are at breaking point access to six weeks of one to one support, enabling them to improve their emotional health, grow in confidence and feel heard.

Join us for sunset walks in July and August
Annie Legge, creator of *The Bath 5k Map (*and our Big BaNES 100k partner), is hosting three relaxed, friendly sunset walks this summer as part of the challenge - open to all, whether you're taking part or just want to meet some new people and enjoy the summer weather.
Walk dates:
- Wed 30 July @ 6pm – Weston to Kelston Round Hill
- Tues 19 August @ 6pm – Bath City Farm
- Thurs 28 August @ 6pm – Bushey Norward to Bathampton Down
We’re absolutely delighted to have you involved in this year’s Big BaNES 100k Challenge – and we wanted to take a moment to say thank you. With your support, we’ve already raised over £1,400, which is just fantastic!
How your steps, pedals and paddles are making a difference
All funds raised will be shared equally between Off The Record and Mentoring Plus, helping young people in our local area access vital support to improve their emotional wellbeing.
For example, with £700 each, we can give:
- Over three months of specialist practitioner support for a young mentee at Mentoring Plus, helping their family access the services they need and feel truly heard.
- Up to six weeks of one-to-one support at Off The Record for seven young people reaching a crisis point.
So, every time you get outside, whether it's a walk, run, cycle or swim, you’re helping change young lives.
