Med Steps 5 Challenge

The Med Steps 5 is a unique physical challenge that takes participants through five laps of the route up and around the stunning Mediterranean Steps.

The first-ever Med Steps 5 Challenge was held in 2015 and was the brainchild of Mark Cooper and his friends, Graham Dyer and Simon Morgan. This has gained momentum each year, growing into one of Gibraltar’s most iconic endurance events and one of the biggest attended community-led initiatives of the year.

So far, this event has raised over £100,000 for Cancer Relief, supporting those affected by cancer and funding our essential services for patients and their families.

This year, the event will be held on 10th May. This challenge is open to everyone—whether you’re an experienced Med Steps veteran, a fitness enthusiast, or just someone who wants to take part for a great cause.Maybe you’re looking to push your limits, perhaps you want to honour a loved one, or just simply be part of something amazing. It’s more than just a challenge, it’s a celebration of resilience, unity and encouragement. Every step taken by every participant helps to make a difference in the lives of those facing cancer in our community.

Want to get involved this year? You can take on the challenge solo or register as part of a team. There are two in-person sign-up days to look out for on 26th March at the Piazza and 23rd April in Casemates Square from 08:30-5:00pm so mark your calendars and keep your eyes on our social media for further updates.
