Lace Up Your Boots for the Peak District!

As salamu alaikum all!

Get ready for an exciting adventure! Finchley Mosque is organising a sponsored trek through the breathtaking Peak District as part of our “Ramadan 2 Ramadan” initiative – a year-long series of events leading up to Ramadan 2026, all in aid of our Mosque redevelopment project.

Join this trek and view stunning scenery and a real sense of accomplishment as we walk together to support the future of Finchley Mosque.

Trek Details: Dates and Location

Here are the details for our Peak District trek:

We’ll be setting off after Jummah prayers on Friday, 19th of September, travelling to a hotel near the starting point for a good night’s rest. The main treks itself will kick off on Saturday morning from 7:30 am onwards.

Choose Your Challenge: Distance Options

There are a few different distances to choose from, so there’s something for everyone! While we’ll mainly be participating in the 25 km trek, but there are also options for the more adventurous among you: 50 km, 75 km, and even 100 km! The 25km trek is typically done with about 7-9 hours if walking. Please discuss with us if you want to attempt the longer distances. 

Fundraising for Finchley Mosque

Our aim for this sponsored trek is for each participant to raise at least £500 towards the Mosque redevelopment. Alternatively, if you’re part of a “Ramadan 2 Ramadan” team, why not bring your whole team along and aim to reach your team’s R2R fundraising target of £5,000 together!

The Route

Are you ready to take on the copper challenge and can you finish within the 9 hour target?

The total ascent of the copper route is 600m- an achievable challenge over a 25km route.

Estimated Costs

The trek will cost around £90 to participate in and will include a nights stay on Friday night. We will also provide a Minibus for those that need transport. This will leave after Jummah on Friday 19th Sep.

Who Can Join?

This fantastic event is open to everyone over the age of 16, both brothers and sisters. It’s a brilliant chance to enjoy the beauty of the Peak District, spend quality time with the community, and make a real contribution to the future of Finchley Mosque.
