Whether you’re a seasoned walker or prefer a gentle stroll, there’s a route for you. Families (including children and grandparents!), community groups, and workplace teams are encouraged to walk together in support of local families facing unexpected challenges.
Choose your route around the racecourse:
2 miles - 2 laps
5 miles - 5 laps
Half marathon (13 miles) - 12 laps

Sign up to walk via the 'Tickets' button above or if you just want to donate, you can do so via the 'Website' button above.
All funds raised will be distributed by Cheshire Community Foundation to support the Thriving Families programme and other vital local charities working with families. These organisations provide essential services like mentoring, parenting support, mental health assistance, and early intervention programmes that help families stay strong and resilient.
Everyone is encouraged to set personal fundraising targets or sign up as teams to multiply the fundraising impact.
Dogs are welcome to take part, so no member of the family is left out.
