The BIG Walk 2025

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

Online registrations are now closed but on the day walk-ins are available. See below for registration times on each route!

Our children face challenges with their mobility everyday, could you do something BIG for Pace to help our children reach their fullest potential?

We’ve chosen a new route for this year which includes 4 BIG distance options for participants to choose from. Your choice of routes are:

18 miles – Dunstable to Wendover
12 miles – Ivinghoe to Wendover
6 miles – Wiggington to Wendover
Superhero mile – John Colet School

The 18 mile route will begin by following the Icknield Way Trail before joining The Ridgeway National Trail for the length of the 12 and 6 mile routes (£20 per adult, £10 per child entry). Well behaved dogs are welcome. For a more detailed route breakdown, see here.

Our Superhero mile is a fun, accessible and sensory walk that is open everyone of all ages and abilities. If they would like to, we’d love to see our courageous Superhero mile participants dress up as their favourite heroes that show off their super strength and resilience! (£5 per entry).

PLEASE NOTE – if your child or children are under 18 years old they MUST be accompanied by an adult, so make sure you book a ticket for your adults too!

We are delighted that John Colet School is partnering with Pace for another year, offering free parking for The BIG Walk participants and volunteers. Registration takes place at Wendover Memorial Hall, Wharf Road, Wendover, HP22 6HF. Shuttle coaches will depart at intervals to the starting point of the 6/12/18 mile routes, with all routes finishing back at Wendover Memorial Hall for ease in returning to vehicles.
