Walk 30 Miles in September
Walk your way through September and count up the kilometres to help families facing dementia.
Two thousand adventurers of all experience levels and ages will take on a classic capital to coast route, testing their grit over the Bank Holiday weekend. You can choose to walk, jog or run your choice of distance, with the full 100km, three-quarter 75km,half and quarter options – there’s a challenge for everyone!
The event starts in Richmond’s Old Deer Park – then crosses the North Downs and wonderful Surrey and Sussex countryside to the halfway point at Turners Hill. Full challengers will then head up and over the South Downs before the welcome sight of the Brighton coastline comes in to view.
Your entry includes free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. As you cross the finish line, you’ll receive a glass of fizz, finisher’s t-shirt, and a medal to commemorate your achievement.

Emma and Anna tell us why they took on a trek for Dementia UKThe walk was both emotionally and physically challenging. But I can’t explain how lovely the support was around. Locals left out chairs with rest stops, with glasses of water and oranges; not to mention the moral support from the other people taking part.
