FAQs

Walk 100 miles throughout May. How you want to complete this challenge is up to you. Whether it’s alone or with a team, all you have to do is walk 100 miles anywhere, at anytime between 1 and 31 May.

It's free to sign up and take part in the event. To sign up please complete our registration form. 

We encourage anyone of any age to take part. You might be totally new to long distance walking, looking for a fun activity to do with your family or training for another event. If you have any health concerns, please consult your doctor before taking on the challenge.

We’re encouraging everyone to raise at least £100. All the money raised will help fund Parkinson’s nurses and specialist healthcare across the UK.

100 miles is a recommended distance, but if you would like to do a different distance please go ahead and change your target distance on your fundraising page. 

Walk for Parkinson's 100 Mile Challenge is a great team challenge! Spread the word and get your friends and family involved. You can create a team fundraising page which will combine all your individual fundraising and show your team's fundraising total. Walk apart or together, the choice is yours.

MapMyFitness, Fitbit or Garmin are great ways to track your distance. Once connected they automatically upload your distance to your page, keeping your supporters updated with your progress. Follow our instructions to connect your fitness app to your fundraising page. 

Once connected following the steps above, all of the miles from either MapMyFitness, Fitbit or Garmin will automatically be logged with us.

If you have issues with MapMyFitness and Fitbit on your walk, please see the steps below to upload your distance manually. 

Of course! If you’d prefer not to use a fitness app you can still easily keep track of your miles through your fundraising page.  You can manually upload your mileage by following the simple steps below. That way your friends and family will still be able to see how you’re progressing.

Follow these steps:

• Log in to your account. You can log in by clicking on the symbol in the top right corner of the Walk for Parkinson's 100 webpage.

• Hover over your name in the top right corner of the page and click on 'My Fitness Activity'.

• Edit the number of miles, your duration, and the time of day you completed your miles by clicking on the links.

• Click ‘save’ and then refresh your page. Your miles should now appear in your feed.

We ask for all donations to be in 6 weeks after the event finishes, so by 12 July 2025.

There are a few different ways you can send in any additional offline donations:

• You can pay them into your online fundraising page yourself.

• You can send in a cheque (made payable to Parkinson’s UK) along with the offline paying in form:

Everyone who raises £100 gets a medal which will be sent to you after the event. 

Everyone who raises £50 gets a T-shirt to wear during the challenge. These will be sent from end of April onwards, depending on when you hit your target. If you would like to purchase a cotton T-shirt to wear in the meantime these can be purchased on our online store. 

The incentives will be based on your individual fundraising totals. Any fundraising donated to your team fundraising page and not individually will be divided equally between all team members. For example, £200 on your team fundraising page would be £50 each total for a team of 4 meaning everyone would get a t-shirt.
