The self-organized TGP Team Walk allows you to register a team and fundraise as always, but with the freedom on Event Day to:

• Walk the distance you want

• When you want

• Where you want

Most teams will decide to walk in the morning, choosing between 1 km or 5 km distances, likely on a paved park pathway or equivalent. Many will end with a small Covid-friendly celebration afterward (lunch, tea, barbeque, etc.).

What to Bring

A few common sense suggestions:

• A cell phone for emergencies (recommended but not required)

• A face mask

• Your walking shoes

• Snacks in case you get hungry

• Your own water bottle, filled with icy cold water

• Warm layers with moisture-repelling clothing in case it's cold or windy. Mid-September be be cold with rain and wind. The weather might also be gorgeous and sunny. Be sure to keep your eye on the forecast!
