Values and Objects

Our aim is to help you earn a marathon medal by safely completing 42km walking over very flat and open countryside. Our events are accessible, diverse and we and remove barriers to entry and are attentive to detail and your welfare.

We pride ourselves on building teams, confidence and friendships.

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 be daunting, so we make a marathon medal as accessible as possible by assuring you with our training and qualifications, your training, tips, and supporting you throughout the days running up to the event.

As long as you are prepared, and can completed several hours walking in your intended kit, then we will keep you safely going to the end. The Giant Walk route is very flat, and our support vehicle carries additional medical and other equipment and is your moving base for the day. This is why it is also an excellent team building CSR day for corporate teams.

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.
