Please remember that we made a significant change to our annual event in 2023 transforming the traditional 5k Walk into a 5k Race. While we still wholeheartedly welcome participants who prefer to walk, there will no longer be a separate walking race. All participants are encouraged to take part in the 10k or 5k Race, regardless of their preferred pace.
