About this Event

Join the 50km Gump Walk!

We are organising a 50km walking event for young professionals in their 20s and 30s at Hyde Park. "Walk & talk" is the most natural way to socialise and make new friends! 😊 Whilst we aim to walk 50km in total, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO walk from the start to the end. You can drop in and drop off at any point you wish. If you want to join us only for a 5km walk instead, for example, that is absolutely fine!
★Date /time & location

· Start 9:00 am, 26th Sep

· Hyde Park

· End approx. 8:00 pm, 26th Sep

★What to expect on Gump Walk

*We will walk 50 km in total at a slow pace (around 5km/h). You can join the walk at any point you like. You can join for a short time, go home, take a nap, and rejoin in the evening, for example. It is totally up to you — no pressure! 😊

• A live location will be shared on the group chat throughout the day, so you will always know where to join us.
  *There will be many short 10-minute breaks every 2 hours, where we can have toilet and fuel breaks. Details will be shared on Meetup and the group chat (please make sure to join from the link shared above).
• After the walk, we may go to a pub if we still have energy. As this will be a spontaneous decision, the location will not be decided or shared in advance.
• We recommend bringing light food and snacks with you so you can fuel yourself whilst walking as well as during short breaks.

*📍 Route:

· Hyde Park, Speakers’ Corner 9:00 am start
