Just Walk or Bike

Join with like-minded people representing loads of different charities - all walking or biking for very different reasons across the most stunning countryside in the UK

Just Walk or Bike brings together fundraisiers from a range of different charities for an invigorating challenge that will give you a great sense of achievement upon crossing the finish line.

Just Walk has been established for three years, and now almost 1,000 people take on the challenge each year. This year, the concept has been expanded to include Just Bike, to give you more choices on how you can challenge yourself.

You can enter regardless of how many miles you can manage - and all your efforts will be supporting our life-saving work across the world.

Routes for walkers vary from 10-60km around Goodwood and Chicester - anyone is welcome who is keen to get their walking boots on and hike for charity.

For cyclists, there are various routes from 50-100km around Oxfordshire, of mixed terrain so mountain bikes are essential.

The terrain is not serious off-road but there are plenty of muddy patches and some puddles. Most of the routes are on country lanes and the routes undulate throughout.

This makes for a varied and enjoyable route through some of the most peaceful, scenic, idealic, glorious and enjoyable countryside in the country distances to suit all ages and levels of stamina.
