MS Walk 2024 frequently asked questions

How much does registration cost?  

The registration fee for MS Walk is £15 for adults, £7 for under 18s and free for under 5s.

On the day, registration costs are the same as above.   

What's the refund policy? 

Tickets are non-refundable as per our event terms and conditions.  

We've suggested a sponsorship target is £100. However, this is only suggested and isn't a minimum requirement. Your entry fee helps cover the cost of putting on MS Walk. But by raising even more funds for research, you can help us stop MS.  

Why isn’t there a walk in Bristol in 2024?

We understand this will be a disappointment for some, as it is for us. But due to financial limitations, we’ve had to make the hard decision to remove Bristol from the series. We hope to return to Bristol again in the future. But in the meantime, you can join a nearby event, like MS Walk Cardiff. Or take on one of our virtual challenges such as My MS Walk.
