Severn Trent Mountain Challenge 2026 - Tittesworth Reservoir, Leek
The Severn Trent Mountain Challenge is a charity trekking event at Tittesworth Visitor Centre and reservoir in Meerbrook, Leek, ST13 8SW. A new Family Fun Day at the same location includes a trail around the reservoir. The Mountain Challenge route starts and finishes at Tittesworth Visitor Centre, with sections offering views of the water and surrounding countryside, notable inclines, and a return descent toward Leek where refreshments and hot food are available at the visitor centre.
Participants must follow a formal kit list required for individuals and teams and should be able to read maps and wear appropriate hiking footwear. Teams undergo a kit check before setting off and have their start time recorded. Teams must consist of a minimum of four and a maximum of six people. Weather can be unpredictable and the event is described as a long day that requires teamwork.
There are three route options to choose from. Registration options include joining with an existing team or taking part as a guided group walk. Income raised supports a WaterAid project in Bangladesh that funds climate resilient water, sanitation and hygiene, supported by the Severn Trent WaterAid committee. Parking is available on site. Event news, photos and results are shared on the STMC Facebook page and fundraising is hosted via Just Giving. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
