Join us for the Winter Walking Challenge 2026: Walk 1, where we'll explore the beauty of the season together on foot!

October Winter Walking Challenge 2026

We’re thrilled to welcome you to this year’s Winter Walking Challenge where throughout October we will focus on how walking increases your overall wellbeing, and how connection is key!

By signing up, you’ve taken the first step towards a healthier, happier start to the winter season. Whether you’re walking solo, with friends, family, or your canine companion, this challenge is all about getting outside more, come rain or shine, and developing your fitness and confidence.

This walk is the fourth of 4 group walks we will be hosting throughout October:

Each walk has a theme, this one is: Connecting with... calm. So we'll be learning to slow down in urban spaces as we look for calm through nature and mindfulness.

We will be joined by Caroline from Park Yoga who will instruct a gentle yoga session at the end of the walk as a wonderful way to round off the final walk of this years challenge.
