The challenge

  • 14 mile trek through Manchester’s historic waterways and vibrant cityscape
  • Fully supported trekking challenge through iconic urban and canal routes
  • Stunning views along the Bridgewater Canal, Manchester Ship Canal, and River Irwell
  • Iconic landmarks including Old Trafford, Salford Quays, and Castlefield
  • Experience a unique journey through Manchester’s industrial heritage and modern skyline

Step up and take on a challenge that truly makes a difference. Join our Walk It Together challenge along the Manchester Canals and walk 14 miles with purpose, alongside a community united by impact. With no registration fee and a minimum fundraising target of £250 per person, every step you take will help change lives. Plus, you’ll receive a free event T-shirt to wear with pride on the day, and if you raise £400 or more, you’ll be rewarded with an exclusive branded water bottle as a thank you for going the extra mile. 

But the experience doesn’t end at the finish line. After completing the walk, we’ll come together to celebrate the challenge, an opportunity to relax, connect with fellow participants, and reflect on what you’ve achieved. With only 100 spots available, this is your chance to be part of something special, challenge yourself, and make a lasting impact.
