Get Telford Walking
May 16th to 22nd 2022
Thankyou to all who supported our event. Feedback welcome .
This year we are working more closely in partnership with Telford and Wrekin council which we hope will lead to more people, who are not habitual walkers, taking part.

For Monday to Friday 16th to 22nd May we participated in Walking to School week and highlighted existing walking opportunities. Here is the programme of walks.
On Saturday 21st we had short circular walks all over the Borough from community centres.
The Saturday walks will be about 1 to 2 or 2 to 3 miles. All of the venues will have toilets available at the start and finish and refreshments at the end. Start times vary, a confirmed table of venues and start times is here.
​
On Sunday 22nd we had 3 walks, using the T50, converging in the Town Park.
These 3 walks picked up at various places along the way, for walks varying in length from 2.5 miles to 17.5 miles. . See here for the full programme of start times and What 3 Words locations. You can just turn up, but it would help us and give you more information if you book a place on the walk on our events page,
