EVENT INFORMATION
The London Irish Walk asks you to walk/run at least 50 miles between your chosen start date and the 17th March. 50 miles is the minimum, so be as ambitious as you like! Together, we are setting a target of walking/running 50,000 miles (100 million steps!) and raising £25,000. You simply sign up, set your targets for steps and sponsorship, let your people know, and get going!
It couldn’t be easier to join us! You can register here by clicking the ‘Start Fundraising’ orange button.
There’s no registration fee! We just ask you to raise what you can but we do suggest a minimum target of £150. If your team or company would like to sign up with a group target this is also a possibility.
