This year's London walk will be
better than ever - we have even placed a booking for
good weather! So dig out your walking shoes, and come
and join in the fun. You can Register as a walker
or
Register as a helper What, where and when?
Starting and ending at Victoria Embankment Gardens, this
year's once again has two routes to choose from.
 The shorter "Family" route
is ideal for those who have small children with them,
are less fit, or simply fancy a shorter stroll this
circular route takes in some of the finest sights of
central London, including a stretch of the South Bank
filled with landmarks and street entertainers.
The longer "Challenge" route
is aimed at those who feel comfortable walking a longer
distance, and takes in even more London landmarks
including the London Eye and Millennium Bridge.
You don't have to decide beforehand which walk you want
to take part in, which means you can see how you feel on
the day. It would help us in planning our marshal
points, however, if you could indicate a preference when
you register online. Thank you!
From 10.30am
To warm you up for the main event, a fun-filled morning
of family activities is planned. So turn up early for
children's entertainment, massage, face painting and
more at Victoria Embankment Gardens. Keep checking this
page for up-to-the-minute information on stalls and
planned activities. From
11.00am
All walkers must Check In on the day - even if you have
already registered to take part. You will be given a
route map and route directions. When
you arrive to check in on the day, you will be allocated
to a colour coded group. This group will decide at what
time you start the walk - between 12pm and 12.30pm.
Start groups will be allocated on a first come, first
served basis. From
12.00pm
The walk starts! Following your route map and route
directions, enjoy the sights and sounds of this historic
part of London. Look out for our friendly team of route
marshals along the way, who will give you a cheer and a
wave! There are plenty of toilet
facilities along the way, which will be clearly marked
on your route map and route directions.
Please note, this is a WALK and not a RUN. Because the
route will be crowded with other pedestrians, it is not
safe for anyone to run the route. Similarly we
discourage those with young children from bringing bikes
or scooters. For details of Crohn's and Colitis UK's
programme of running events,
please click here.
Please also note that there are some road crossings
along the route. Please listen to the marshals'
instructions at all times when crossing roads, and
ensure that children are supervised.
Make sure you come back to Victoria Embankment Gardens
when you have finished your walk to collect your
Finisher's Medal! From 1.00pm
After all that walking, you are invited to rest your
tired legs and enjoy a family picnic. You bring the
food, we'll provide the deck chairs - so you can sit
back, relax and even have a massage to soothe those
post-walk aches and pains. Register as a walker
And
finally
We are very lucky to have a team of fantastic volunteers
without whom this event would not be possible. If you
would like to help at the start and finish point, on the
check-in desk or marshalling on the route, or in any
other way - suggestions welcome - please register to
join the volunteer team.
