The simple answer is: EVERYONE!

Walk 1000 Miles is for everyone
Walk 1000 Miles is for everyone

Whoever you are, this challenge is for you.

Whether you want to walk for health, happiness or so you can eat more cake; to see new sights, take amazing photos or tone your bum/thighs/tum; to see more of where you live, do some forest bathing or climb a 2000ft mountain; meet new people or make an ex jealous; if you aim to crack 1000 by July or reckon you might barely make it across the line next New Year’s Eve; if you don’t know the top of a map from the bottom and have no idea what a compass is all about; whatever team you support, however short your legs or long your hair; whether you walk with a dog, a buddy, a Significant Other, your mum, your son or nobody in particular, you are welcome here.

Walk1000Miles is for the old, the young, the fit, the frail, the ambitious, the doubtful, the believers, the questioners, the hopeful, the lonely, the thin-as-a-pin and the big-boned, the first-timers, the ten-timers. It’s for all genders and none; all pronouns and identifications; it’s for every tone of skin and every belief.

What unites us? Curiosity and optimism; the dream of seeing more, being more and smiling more. The belief that there’s more to the world than bad news and box sets... and the suspicion (soon to become firm knowledge) that life is better on foot.

That’s who this is for. And in short, that’s you.
