What is Walk 100km this June?

It’s a fundraising challenge where you aim to walk a total of 100km in June to support Terrence Higgins Trust, the UK’s leading HIV charity. You can increase or decrease the distance if you prefer - it’s your challenge.

Is there a registration fee?

No, it’s free to take part.

Is there a fundraising target?

We suggest a minimum target of £400, but every donation makes a difference.

Does the £400 have to be raised by the end of June?

You can keep fundraising before, during, and after the challenge. Every donation, whenever it’s given, helps support our work.

Can Gift Aid count towards my £400 target?

Gift Aid is extremely valuable, but it doesn’t usually count towards the £400 target. Any Gift Aid added will be on top of your fundraising total and help us even more.

How long does it take to walk 100km?

On average, walking 10km (just over 6 miles) takes around 90 minutes to two hours. 
We estimate walking 100km will take you about 20 hours.

How can I track my walking?

You can track your progress however you like — using a free walking app, a smartwatch, or our printable tracker.

Do I have to complete it in June?

We encourage everyone to take part in June, but this is a personal challenge. If you need a little longer, that’s okay.

How do I walk safely?

Your safety comes first. A few simple steps can help you enjoy the 100km challenge and avoid injury:

• Build up gradually. Start with shorter walks and increase your distance over time, especially if you’re new to walking regularly.
• Wear comfortable footwear. Well fitting trainers or walking shoes can help prevent blisters and sore feet.
• Warm up and cool down. A few gentle stretches before and after your walk can help reduce stiffness and aches.
• Stay hydrated. Take water with you, especially on longer walks or in warmer June weather.
• Dress for the weather. Wear layers, apply sunscreen when needed, and choose bright or reflective clothing if walking early morning or evening.
• Plan your route. Stick to familiar, well lit paths and let someone know where you’re going if walking alone.
• Listen to your body. If you feel pain, dizziness, or extreme tiredness, stop and rest. It’s okay to take breaks or reduce your distance.
• Check with your GP if needed. If you have a health condition or haven’t exercised for a while, it’s a good idea to get medical advice before starting.

Remember — this is a personal challenge. Go at your own pace and focus on doing what feels right for you.

What if I’m walking as part of a group?

Please register individually so everyone receives updates and support. You can each have your own fundraising page or share one page if you prefer.

Can I run or use a wheelchair instead of walking?

Yes. While this is a walking challenge, you can take part in a way that works for you. This can include running, using a wheelchair, or other mobility aids. The most important thing is taking part and fundraising.

Do I need to send proof of my walks?

No formal proof is required. This is a trust based challenge, and we encourage you to track your progress in a way that motivates you.

What if I don’t complete the full 100km?

What matters most is pushing yourself and taking part. Whatever distance you manage, the money you raise will help us continue our life saving work.

Will I get a finishers’ reward?

Everyone who raises £400 or over will receive a Do It For Terry pin badge as a thank you for supporting our work at Terrence Higgins Trust.
