Wheel & Walk

Wheel & Walk at Windsor Great Park - registration now open!

Wheel & Walk will be taking place at Windsor Great Park on 13 July 2008.  After the success of the Wheel & Walk at MS Life in March, it is sure to be a great event for all the family.

This year, the walk will have three separate routes - giving all our participants a chance to choose which route will best suit them.  All the routes will start and finish in the gorgeous setting of Virginia Lake in the south of the park.

Route          Distance                How long to complete?

Route 1          3.5km                approx 1 hour to complete

Route 2          7.0km                approx 2-3 hours to complete

All routes will be accessible to pushchairs, wheelchairs and people with limited mobility.  Route three is best suited for electric wheelchairs or scooters.

There is no minimum sponsorship for Wheel and Walk, however we would ask you to raise as much as you can.
