This November, Pudsey has challenged BBC radio stations across the country to attempt to walk a total of one thousand miles, but here’s the catch – they’ll be doing it three-legged! 

Each of our BBC radio stations will be attempting a total of 25 miles over the 4th and 5th of November 2025.  Two presenters will be joined at the ankle to other famous faces, and people who’ve been supported by your BBC Children in Need donations.

Think school sports day, but a lot further, and all for a great cause!

If you’d like to support the team’s efforts in attempting the Thousand Mile Challenge you can donate any amount online.

The twoday challenge launches at 6:00am on Tuesday 4th November, with the teams aiming to complete the challenge by 7:00pm on Wednesday 5th November 2025.

The teams will be visiting some well-known landmarks and beauty spots as they walk the length and breadth of the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands – but will they complete the challenge?  

Tune in to your nearest BBC radio station to find out how they’re doing, or follow along across social media!
