Wrap up, and join Team Phipps Cameron on Sat 24 January to walk off the festive season celebrations, and support St Mungo’s with some fundraising; it might even kick start your New Year fitness regime! We’re taking on the 10Km! All routes start & finish at The Oval Cricket Ground, and take in highlights of the Thames, its historic bridges, and many of the Capital’s landmarks. There’s rest stops with snacks & drinks, a special medal, and some welcome hot food at the finish after a great city walk
Pink arrows mark the route, with distance markers, glowsticks after dark, and a Google map via the App just in case! Our experienced Trek Masters are out & about to provide support, and our timing system & GPS tracking App enable the friends & family to monitor your progress & finish times.
We have medics at the rest stop venues to deal with any aches / pains or blisters.
It might be chilly so there’s a special Winter Walk bobble hat which is FREE with the Early Bird Deal (Ends Dec. 31st) – and picked up on the day at The Oval start)
New Year diets may still be on track for some – but keeping energised is important and you won’t go hungry…
Coffee, tea & biscuits at the start
- Rest stops en route with a range of snacks & drinks (for full & half marathon)
- Hot food at the finish for everyone!
- All dietary requirements catered for.
You’ll get a big cheer as you cross the finish line and a well earned Winter Walk medal. Certificates can be downloaded via the event App.
Once you’re signed up, there’s a mobile phone App to download with all the key information, maps, & details of the walk at your finger tips. There’s also an active Facebook Group to share your preparation and winter journey with other Winter Walkers!

Yes – as long as you are fundraising for the same charity, you can create a team fundraising page on Just Giving (we recommend letting your charity know this is how you will be fundraising together). However, please be advised that the minimum fundraising targets remain per person (not per team), so you will need to reach the combined total fundraising amount on your page for your group.
Follow the link in the fundraising section of on this page. Alternatively, follow the link in the confirmation email you receive after your register.
Individual page: When you follow the link, it will have already pre-selected your challenge and your charity. All you need to do is enter your personal details and begin fundraising.
Group page: You still need to set up your own fundraising page. Use the link provided in the Fundraising section above, then link it to your teams Group Page.
Only Applicable to Option 2 & 3
All sponsorship goes direct to the Charity via your individual/group JustGiving page.
At least 50% of the ‘sponsorship target’ MUST be with the Charity 3 weeks prior to the Challenge. At this time the Charity agrees to pay the fee for your place to Ultra Challenge (similar to the Self Funding cost – or half of it for Mixed Funding as you’ve already covered half).
Failure to meet the deadline may result in cancellation of your place by your charity.
The remaining 50%, and any extra, should be with your Charity by 4 weeks after the Challenge.
All charity sponsorship and mixed funding places close 4 weeks before each challenge, so that you have enough time to fundraise and reach your target. Self funding places close for online registration on the Tuesday before each challenge.
