Local charities Future Living Hertford and CHIPS are inviting local people to put on their walking shoes and take part in the Great Big Walk for Herts on Saturday 26 September at Hartham Common, Hertford.

There is a route for everyone, with a half-marathon and 10km guided walk beginning at 10am, followed by a family-friendly 5km walk at 2pm. Tickets cost £15 for the half-marathon, £10 for the 10km walk or £10 per family for the 5km route.

The event forms part of the Helping Herts campaign and will raise vital funds for two local charities. Future Living Hertford supports adults and children affected by domestic abuse, helping them recover, rebuild their lives and move forward with confidence. CHIPS provides specialist powered wheelchairs for children and young people.

Emma Fleming, CEO of Future Living Hertford, said: “The Great Big Walk is a lovely opportunity to get outdoors, spend time with friends or family and support two local charities. Whether you choose the half-marathon, 10km or family walk, every step will help us continue supporting people in our community. We would love to see individuals, families, walking groups and workplace teams joining us on the day.”

Participants can also choose to fundraise, and donations made through the Helping Herts campaign will be match funded – doubling their impact for the charities.
