The festival is a celebration of walking and wheeling, as part of May’s National Walking Month, and an opportunity for everyone to get involved.
This year, the number of ways in which you can get involved has increased as we recognize the many benefits of walking and wheeling more as a fundamental part of daily life.
Head to our website to find out more about:
- Hosting a public walk. Whether you’re a regular walk host or not, we need you to support our programme of free group walks designed and organised by and for local people. Submit your walk here.
- Create a private walk for your business, nursery, school, or organisation to get those around you moving more throughout National Walking Month.
- Make a commitment to celebrate everyday walking and wheeling throughout the GM Walking Festival and share how you benefit from moving around under your own steam. This could link into Mental Health Awareness Week (12th-18th May) or Walk To School Week (19th-23rd May).
