Greater Manchester Walking Festival 2024
Dear Manchester Walking Champions,
GM Walking Festival 2024: please add your walks!
MCRactive is teaming up with GM Moving to promote the Greater Manchester Walking Festival 2024, which takes place 1st-31st May. The festival celebrates the joys and many benefits of walking and wheeling – including for people’s health and wellbeing.
We would love your fantastic walks to be included in the festival!
This is an opportunity to promote your regular walks, trial a new walk or to get creative and put on something new and different! How about a family adventure or community walk; a workplace or school walk; an arts or history walk or a social ‘walk and talk’? The only limit is your imagination!
Last year we over 50 fantastic Manchester-based walks from over 30 organisations!
Please see the GM Walking website to add your walks and to find further information, resources and support: https://gmwalking.co.uk/festival/festival-2024/ .
Walk submission deadline: Friday 22nd March 2024.
