Blairgowrie to Rye - Challenger 15km's

Blairgowrie to Rye - The Fitness Challenge Hike 💪

Ready to put your strength and stamina to the test?
This 15km return hike from Blairgowrie to Rye is designed to challenge even our fittest hikers. Expect sand, steps, and seriously sculpted calves by the end of it.

We’ll be tackling rolling dunes and rugged coastal trails that will get your quads pumping and lungs firing - the perfect cardio workout for those who love a good physical challenge. This isn’t your cruisy Sunday stroll… it’s a heart-rate-raising, sweat-inducing adventure built to boost endurance and cardiovascular health.

Our regulars love this one - it’s raw, real, and rewarding. If you’re someone who thrives on a good workout and enjoys earning that post-hike coffee (and bragging rights), this hike’s for you.

Bring your energy, your grit, and maybe a cheeky smile - because you’re going to feel this one tomorrow 😉
