Event overview

Calling all walkers, strollers and rollers.

Walk to Support is a fun walk and way to spend time with friends and family, to explore the city, celebrate our communities in Birmingham and across the Midlands, and to fundraise to support people living with cancer.

The group will gather in the Event Village in Centenary Square where there will be food and drink stalls, activities for the whole family, and information about Macmillan's services. You’ll then join the green wave taking on either the 10km route past some of Birmingham’s most iconic landmarks or keep it local with our 2.5km route around the event village.

On the route there will be there plenty of opportunity for rest stops and music checkpoints to help keep you moving.

You don’t have to be fit or fearless. You don’t have to push yourself to your limit. Just sign up and raise as much as you can to support people living with cancer. And come and enjoy the day.

Explore with District

On the day, walkers will connect with the technology app District, to bring the experience to life with virtual checkpoints and challenges.

The many virtual checkpoints will be strategically placed around the event. Each checkpoint will be different, but could include a mini challenge, trivia question, or interesting fact.

There will be event ‘points’ to collect on the app too so you’ve got a chance to catch them all whilst you explore your way around the event! 

This event is part of Birmingham Walk to Support.
