Pictures: The Big Tackle 2025

Rowcroft's Big Tackle smashed all records with 1,090 walkers and £100,000 raised

These photos, taken by Owen Barton of Owen BD Photos and Al Macphee of Miracle PR and Event Photography, show Rowcroft Hospice’s record-breaking Big Tackle charity walk for 2025.

1,090 people took to the streets of Torquay this weekend in a powerful display of community spirit and remembrance, raising £100,000 for the South Devon hospice.

Starting and finishing at Torquay Athletic Rugby Football Club, participants walked eight miles across Torquay, taking in scenic views of the seafront and passing through the grounds of Rowcroft Hospice.

Rowcroft has thanked Torquay Rugby Club for hosting the event and screening the Six Nations Rugby, as well as to key sponsors WBW Solicitors, Torbay Clearance Services, Bays Brewery, and Caterfood for their generous support.
