What is Walking Stars?

The event is non-competitive; there is no timing or award for the fastest walker. The focus is on the personal challenge and achievement of completing a half marathon for a great cause. Each participant receives a personalised online fundraising page with which they’re encouraged to raise donations from friends and family members to support their walk.

An achievable half marathon

Walking Stars is a non-competitive half marathon (21km). With some training, it’s achievable by most people, whatever your pace or fitness level. You can choose to power walk, stride or stroll, but no running! You’ll receive a free training plan, as well as health and nutrition advice to help you prepare.
