Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Endure Round Gozo Challenge?
It's a hiking challenge organised by Endure Fitness where participants aim to circumnavigate the island of Gozo! That's around 50km of walking distance with around 1500m altitude gain. This means we have around 12 hours of non-stop hiking.
2. What's the terrain like?
It's everything! We will be going over rough terrain, sandy beaches, and cliff-edge singletrack.
3. Is this hike beginner-friendly?
We will be hiking at a relatively fast pace. Therefore, prior experience in hiking over rough terrain is important.
4. What happens if I cannot keep up?
Unfortunately, this is a CHALLENGE, and it will not be a relaxing hike. We have a lot of distance to cover, and we cannot wait around. You are more than welcome to drop out of the hike, and you are responsible for your own transport arrangements. Hint: you are normally not too far away from where a taxi can pick you up!
5. Can I join for parts of this hike instead of all of it?
Yes! You can join in form the start, or join in any of the checkpoints described above! You can also choose to drop out of the hike anytime you wish.
6. How can you prepare for such a challenge?
- We suggest weekly hikes, ideally with a weighted pack over rough terrain, in order to simulate this hike.
- You can join our two other hikes: Victoria Lines and 1000m Challenge as preparation for this hike!
- Make sure you have a pair of trusted hiking or trail shoes as well as good quality socks!
