Why not get your family and friends to come and meet you and cheer you over the finish line? They can also then drive you home as we recommend that you don’t drive a long distance after completing this challenge.

 

 

 

 

 


 

Testimonials

Acer Nethercott, part of Team GB's rowing team, who started off the 10km and 20km walkers said " Just Walk is a wonderful event.  It's fabulous to see so many people out in the open air raising funds for their chosen charity. I may well come along and take part next year!

A friend and I did the 60km Just Walk challenge on Saturday at Goodwood. We would both just like to say a massive thank you to everyone from your company that was involved. We had a lovely (but tiring) day. We were really impressed with how well it was all organised and how helpful all the staff were. This is the first time we have done something through your company but one of many challenges we have done, but in future we will definitely keep an eye out for other challenges on your website. Many thanks again.

Great day, Great company, Great weather, Great Walk!!!!...... We couldn't have done it without everyone's support....THANKYOU!  Brilliant Organisers!! I hope you are patting yourselves on the back, even if you are deservedly exhausted. What an amazing event! I had the best day out ever!

What a beautiful day I had. Lovely scenery and weather perfect. Only did 10K mind (but with a heal injury). Next year it will be 20K. Thank you very much
