The BIG Walk 2026

Welcome to The BIG Walk – our favourite event of the year! 

Every day, our children face challenges with their mobility. Could you do something BIG for Pace and help them reach their fullest potential? 

This year, we’re excited to introduce a new route with three BIG distance options to suit everyone: 

Choose your route: 

• 18 miles – Apsley to Wendover 
• 12 miles – Berkhamsted to Wendover 
•  6 miles – Tring Reservoirs to Wendover

Prices

• £20 per adult
• £10 per child

Route details

The 18-mile walk starts at Apsley Marina, following the Grand Union Canal for the first 6 miles. Walkers will then be joined by our 12-mile participants in Berkhamsted, continuing together to Tring. 

Our 6-mile walkers will join at Tring Reservoir, and from there everyone will walk the beautiful Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal, finishing at Wendover Memorial Hall. Refreshments and photo opportunities will be waiting at the finish line. 

Important information 

Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Please remember to book tickets for accompanying adults.
