A 100km (62ml) challenge walk organised in conjunction with the Wenlock Olympian Society who inaugurated the Wenlock Olympian Games in 1850. The walk is over demanding rural countryside and moorland in the Shropshire Hills to the west of Much Wenlock including the Brown and Titterstone Clee

General Notes
This is Olympic year so something special is called for - perhaps not the 100ml we invited you to complete when the Olympics were in London but a bit more than the usual WOW. So for 2016 its 100km (62ml). The WOW will be properly supported with five full feeding stations and additional watering points as conditions dictate but entrants must recognise that there will be up to 12ml between each partial or full refreshment point. There will be a need for everyone to carry both ‘emergency’ food and water which can be replenished at the shops in Craven Arms (35ml). Entrants should have completed two 25ml challenge walks in the previous 12 months
