Event overview

Tommy Trek is a fundraising challenge designed to mark the anniversary of the D-Day Landings in 1944.

You'll trek through the beautiful Kent countryside, villages, fields and woodland, with stunning views over the Garden of England throughout.

Corporate Teams

An ideal fundraising challenge for groups of all sizes.

Walking is the top activity when organising an active fundraiser for a team as it is highly inclusive and caters for a range of abilities, ages and speeds, plus this trek offers a choice of two challenging but achievable distances.

There is a maximum number of four participants in a single team, plus a support driver. Your Corporate Team could have one or more groups of four people.

(Individuals taking part do not require a driver or support team).

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
