Question 4

Do I need to train?

Accepted Answer

Well, that's up to you! Maybe you're already taking the dog out every day, or perhaps you could leave the car behind and walk the school run or walk to work twice a week? Depending on your current activity levels 50 miles might be easy to achieve, you might want to tackle it in a few long walks.

Question 5

Can I complete it in a few really long walks?

Accepted Answer

However you tackle your 50, make sure that you are thinking about your own abilities, warming up properly and looking after yourself!

Always let someone know your approximate route if you're walking solo or taking on a longer or more challenging walk!

I'm nervous about raising enough money!

Accepted Answer

First thing's first - don't panic! There is plenty of time.
Share your walks on social media or keep your friends and family posted, your commitment and dedication will inspire people to donate.
Why not give people something in return for your donation... maybe you could walk your neighbors dog!

Question 9

Do I need to prove how far I've walked?

Accepted Answer

Not at all, if you want to add your miles to our group you can sign up to our Strava group.

We won't be asking you to show us how far you've walked, but it's great for your donors to keep sharing your progress, maybe on social media or in a group chat.

Question 10

When will I receive my top and medal?

Accepted Answer

We aim to get this to you approx. 1 week before the event so that you can wear it when you're walking. Please ensure your personal details are kept up-to-date. Medals and certificates will be issued in June.
