So, lace up those trainers and help save lives across Wales by entering Walk Wales. Whether you want to go alone and set yourself your own challenge or join one of our mass participants challenges, we have something for everyone.
Walk Wales, which has been running since 2020, is a popular fundraiser for people of all ages and abilities.
There will be three epic challenges to take part in including joining Wales Air Ambassador James Hook once again to walk along the Gower peninsula.
Walk Wales with James Hook, which will take place on Saturday, June 6, will see walkers taking on either 22 miles from Rhossili to Langland; 10 miles from Oxwich to Langland or the shorter 3-mile route from Caswell to Langland.
If you can’t join one of the Charity’s in-person events you can still take part and fundraise; It will be your distance, your challenge, your route and you can Walk Wales your way!
Wales Air Ambulance must raise £13 million each year to keep its helicopters in the sky and rapid response vehicles on the road and fundraisers like Walk Wales are vital.
Gail Windley, Wales Air Ambulance’s Events and Partnerships Fundraiser, said: “We are excited that our popular Walk Wales fundraiser is back for the seventh year. This year we plan on it being bigger and more accessible for participants.
“Walk Wales is wonderful fundraising initiative, which helps people keep fit whilst doing something good for the people of Wales.
“We’re delighted that our ambassador James Hook is joining us again this year. This fundraiser is aimed at all ages and a wonderful way for our supporters to help us celebrate our 25th anniversary.
“If you want to play a part in helping save lives across Wales, put on those walking shoes and Walk Wales with us for a fantastic cause. It is a fundraiser not to be missed.”
