Values and Objects

Our goal is to guide you towards earning a marathon medal by safely completing a 42km walk through scenic, flat countryside. Our events are designed to be accessible and inclusive, removing barriers to entry while prioritising your safety and comfort.

We take pride in building confidence, teamwork, and creating lasting friendships among participants.

Route

The Giant Walk starts in Hale on Mersey and continues along the estuary to the Ship Canal approaching Stockton Heath. After a lunch rest, we take the transpennine trail and Bridgewater canal past Lymm through Dunham to finish in Hale Cheshire  – a full distance marathon with plenty of facilities en route.

Training and support

Endurance walking can feel daunting. Our mission is to make earning a marathon medal as accessible as possible. With our professional training and qualifications, your preparation, expert tips, and consistent support in the lead-up to the event, you’ll be set up for success.

As long as you are prepared and can completed several hours walking in your intended kit, we’ll help you reach the finish line safely. The Giant Walk route is very flat, and our support vehicle, equipped with medical supplies and essentials, acts as a moving base throughout the day.

This makes the experience not only achievable but also ideal for team-building and CSR days for corporate groups.

All for Charity

The Giant Walk encourages participants to fundraise for a cause of their choice. We are a Just Giving approved event, and you can raise money or awareness for any UK Registered Charity. We find that whilst walking, posting on your social media is an excellent way to engage your supporters who will see your marathon unfold.
