March Walking Tips and Challenges

Read our tips and challenges below to help you make the most of walking this month

• Celebrate International Women’s Day by joining Manchester’s Walk for Women. Find out when and where it starts.
• March is Walk All Over Cancer Month. Join thousands of supporters completing 10,000 steps everyday to raise money for life-saving cancer research. Get involved.
• Celebrate Mother’s Day by going on a lovely walk together. Or if you’re unable to be with her today make it a well-deserved self-care day and take yourself out instead!
• Spring is here. Longer and lighter days are ahead which means you can enjoy walking in the daylight even more. Check out our walking routes for inspiration.
