This is the perfect event to enjoy with family, friends or get a team together with your colleagues. Please note this event is walking event only. 

How much does it cost to sign up to the London Winter Walk?

There are 3 ways to sign up for the London Winter Walk Challenge:

Option 1 - fundraise for Mind, and we'll cover the cost of your place

As Mind are an official charity partner, you get 50% off on the 'Full Sponsorship' registration fee. This means you pay a small registration fee, do lots of fundraising, and we cover the cost of your event place.

Option 2 - do some fundraising, and cover some costs yourself

Or, you can pay for half of the registration fee yourself. We'll pay for the other half, and you'll need to do a bit of fundraising.
