#walk 1000miles

Come and meet your new mates, in the friendliest challenge in walking.

IF YOU’VE EVEN remotely considered signing up to walk 1000 miles this year, there’s something you need to know. Yes, it IS for people like you, and you WILL be right at home. There are thousands of friends you haven’t met yet awaiting your arrival, and they’ll cheer you all the way.

Whether you want to walk for health, happiness or hula hoops; to see sights, take photos or tone your bum; pound pavements, bestride mountain ranges or raise smoke from your treadmill, count every step, only those with boots on or only on days of the month divisible by 3, this is YOUR challenge.

There’s no need to be cowed by reading of others’ big mileages; any more than there is reason to be disdainful of anyone’s achievements; no need to wonder if there is a better way or worse way of doing the challenge – there is ONLY what is best for you. # walk1000miles is a quest of common cause, but it is also a celebration of our diversity of circumstance, health, experience and aptitude.

Joining the community is not about conforming to any template of behaviour except mutual respect and encouragement, and the shared joy in better days through walking. Not for nothing has # walk1000miles been repeatedly called the friendliest group of people in the world – so DO join in, enjoy the friendly spur the challenge provides, meet your ready-made group of new friends online, prepare to be amazed where your 1000 miles takes you and above all enjoy!
