The Big TOE’s route links all 42 cathedral cities. Including the preview days it goes to every county in England. So. if you live in England the tour DOES come near to you. We’d love you to come and support  – or to participate by running either with us or by choosing to dedicate a run or walk on one of the 64 tour days to the Big TOE.

If you are away when the tour comes near, how about joining us whilst visiting family or friends.

The Big TOE is a slow paced mix of running and walking. There will be a tracker to follow, so you can join in for any distance. Run one mile right up to 30, the choice is yours.

The route starts in Newcastle, heads south via cites on the East to Canterbury, then west to cities in the south to Truro, then north through cities on the west side of the country to Carlisle, then finally east back to Newcastle.

Here are the main cites and towns that the TOE travels directly through.
