Walk For a Cure is a brand new walking event organised by the UK’s leading dementia research charity, Alzheimer’s Research UK.
It gives everyone impacted by dementia a wonderful opportunity to come together in a stunning location to walk, talk and support the charity and each other.
The wonderful 5K circular route will begin at the Albert Memorial with magnificent views across the gardens. Explore the enchanting beauty of this world-renowned royal park and take in the incredible sights of Kensington Palace.
Register today and join Alzheimer’s Research UK this summer at Kensington Gardens.
In every step, lies a story. Walk For a Cure brings together everyone impacted by dementia. Who will you walk for?
Walk For A Cure is an inclusive space for everyone.
Walk for someone you love to show you care and to take positive steps towards a cure.
Walk in memory of a special person to remember them, honour them and keep memories alive.
One in two people in the UK will either develop dementia, care for someone with the condition, or both. This cannot go on. We need to Walk For A Cure.
Walk For A Cure is an event for everybody.

The 5K walk will be entirely within the park on accessible paths along a well-marked route and completely traffic-free.
The wonderful 5km circular route will begin at The Albert Memorial with magnificent views across the gardens. Explore the enchanting beauty of this world-renowned royal park as you make your way past the front of Kensington Palace and back to the finish line to claim your well deserved medal.
The fully signposted route takes place on flat paths within the park which are accessible for both wheelchairs and pushchairs with assistance. There will be volunteer marshals along the route and rest stops to support you if needed.
Join forces with hundreds of others who are walking to find a cure for dementia.
Entertainment, live music, and a friendly, fun atmosphere to enjoy with friends and family.
Our dedicated fundraising team will be with you every step of the way to support you in reaching your £150 target.
When you arrive at the event, you’ll receive an orange t-shirt to walk in, and a coloured lanyard to show who you’re walking for.
As you cross the finish line, with a heart full of hope, you will receive a medal for your achievement and your commitment to the cause.
Each walker is encouraged to raise £150 for Alzheimer's Research UK.
We exist for a cure.
If nothing changes, one in two of us will be directly affected by dementia. We will either care for someone with dementia, develop it ourselves, or both.
This cannot go on.
