Get Walking Keep Walking

Over the weekend of 26-27 May 2012 the Ramblers will be running hundreds of short led walks across Great Britain as part of Get Walking for the Games Weekend. Many of the walks will have an Olympic and Paralympic Games theme as Olympic fever sweeps the nation.

Get Walking for the Games weekend is a great opportunity to help people discover the joy of walking and to promote fantastic benefits that walking can bring.

Just 30 minutes walking five times a week can have a positive effect on your fitness, physical health and help you to control your weight. What better way to test out the benefits than by joining hundreds of people
across Great Britain on one of our walks!

Most walks are:

FREE!
run by Ramblers volunteers

Bring your friends and family – everyone’s welcome. We’re sure you’ll enjoy yourself and hope that you’ll walk as a result.
