Event overview
Join Sands this September to Trek Together for every family and every baby that needs them.
Trek Together is achievable for experienced walkers and beginners alike! You have the choice of two distances, 10 or 20 miles, and with fellow walkers and team support, you will wind your way around Derwent Water, taking in the beautiful Lakeland fells and the stunning scenic countryside all around.
All you need to do is put one foot in front of the other and enjoy the amazing atmosphere, all whilst knowing you are helping to make a difference.
So come together with friends, families and new faces to make memories and remember every loved and missed baby.
Let's Trek Together this September.
