The Taste Trail
Ultra-marathon runner Rob Pope is taking on The Taste Trail from 2 – 15 September 2026, which will see him travel more than 500 miles on foot, to follow where food is sourced and made. Along the way, he'll meet the farmers, makers, manufacturers and communities behind some of the nation's favourite food and drink products, uncovering the care, skill and craftsmanship which goes into our Nestlé products which are made in Britain.
Support Felix
For every mile Rob covers, Nestlé will donate the equivalent of more than 300 meals to Felix, over 175,000 meals in total, the UK's largest food redistribution charity. You can help make an even bigger difference by donating today. Every contribution helps Felix rescue surplus food and redistribute it to charities and community organisations across the UK, reducing food waste and supporting people facing food insecurity.
Donate now and help good food go further.
