We start the 5 mile Wellness Walk at Potters Fields Park, London SE1 2AA. This is also the finish location for both walks.
What walkers receive
A welcome pack with t-shirts for adults and over 12s, walker numbers and walking guide.
On event day all walkers will receive a beautiful wooden medal as they cross the finish line.
Spend some time in our Finisher’s Area where you can pose for a photo on our podium, get a relaxing massage, write on our gratitude board or speak to a specialist diabetes dietitian.
Fundraising target
Paying your registration fee helps us cover some of the cost of putting on your Wellness Walk, but it’s your fundraising which really makes a difference. We ask you to raise a minimum of £150 to support those with diabetes to live better for longer.
