Join Prospect Hospice for a new fundraising event that brings men and boys together to walk, talk and support one another.

- the Old Town Railway Path
- the Wilts and Berks Canal

The walk ends at The County Ground, home of Swindon Town Football Club, in time to watch Swindon Town play Accrington Stanley. Participants will receive a free drink and food before taking their seats for the match.

This event is proudly supported by Swindon Town Football Club.

Who can take part

Men and boys aged eight and over are welcome to join the walk. You can take part in memory of someone you love, to support a friend, to enjoy time with family or colleagues, or to be part of something positive and meaningful.

You can walk with others or come along on your own and connect with people along the route.

Supporters are encouraged to get involved by cheering walkers on or volunteering on the day.

Why take part
