How to take part

If joining us as a group, please make a single booking to cover your whole team. In your booking, please choose your venue (London, Manchester or Cardiff), the distance that you or your group/team would like to walk, and the t-shirt size(s) that you require. You can purchase child tickets alongside your own.

Signing in on our website is optional when making your booking. However, we recommend it, especially if you are a leading a team. If you sign in now, you will be able to check later (in My Account) which team members still need to complete their supplementary information forms. Thank you for helping us by gathering these important details.
