How to do the Big Slow Ways Challenge

You can do the challenge:

  • over 50k, 100k, 250k or 500k
  • in a day, weekend, week, month or year
  • solo, in a group or team
  • by walking, running, wheeling or yomping
  • for yourself or for a cause
  • to fundraise for Slow Ways or just for the sake of it
  • and help champion the national walking network!

Do it for the fun of it or fundraise for Slow Ways to support our work at the same time. 

Supporting Slow Ways will help address many challenges people are facing in the country while bringing people together and giving people joy. We know the national walking network we are developing will boost people’s health, wellbeing and happiness. We are connecting people and communities, saving people money, enabling climate action, nurturing culture, and helping people get from A to B. 

You can blend the Big Slow Ways Challenge with others challenges too. Doing a 1000 Mile Challenge, counting steps or training for an event? Why not do the Slow Ways Challenge at the same time? Find out more and sign up here.

As well as helping with our mission to create the national walking network you’ll be able to claim exclusive Slow Ways snail badges as you hit your milestones. And the first 50 people to reach 100K will receive a free Slow Ways t-shirt.
