Ultra Challenge – London Winter Walk
Saturday 28 January 2023 - Sunday 29 January 2023
Walk, jog or run the Winter Walk for Pilgrims Hospices!
10k, half marathon or full marathon challenge
Start the year off on the right foot by joining over 2,000 challengers taking on the London Winter Walk through the heart of the Capital, following the Thames, and passing many famous landmarks. You have the choice of a 10km route or two half marathon loops, the ‘Eastern Walk’ will loop you past Tower Bridge to Southwark Park, whilst the ‘Western Walk’ with loop around Putney Bridge. Alternatively, you can challenge yourself to the full 26-mile marathon walk! Most will walk, many will jog and some will run; the choice is yours. You’ll be fully supported all the way and rewarded with an amazing sense of achievement as you cross the finish line. Will you go the extra mile for Pilgrims?
Choosing to fundraise for Pilgrims Hospices with your walk, jog or run along the Jurassic Coast will support us in continuing to care for over 2,500 people each year who are facing an incurable illness across east Kent.
What’s included?
- Hot meals, drinks and snacks en-route
- Pace walkers, marshals, medics and massage
- Fully signed route
- Shuttle buses & transfers
- Finisher’s medal, t-shirt and a glass of bubbly
- Optional training walks & event app

Fundraising options:
With 80% of our hospice funding coming through voluntary donations from our local community, the difference your support makes cannot be overstated. Every £25 that you raise could pay for another hour of specialist nursing care in one of our inpatient units.
Once you’ve decided on your challenge distance, there are three ways to fund your entry:
- Self-funding – you pay the full cost of the event place with no minimum fundraising commitment – just raise as much as you can!
- Charity sponsorship – you pay a reduced registration fee and, providing you reach the fundraising goal, Pilgrims will cover the cost of your event place
- Mixed funding – you pay half of the event place cost yourself and, providing you reach the fundraising goal, Pilgrims will pay the balance of the event place cost
Please note: when taking part in Ultra Challenge events you are asked to pledge to raise a sponsorship target when registering for ‘charity sponsorship’ and ‘mixed funding’ options. The sponsorship target depends on the distance of your challenge – full challenge, half challenge or quarter challenge.
