Get your walking boots on Hertfordshire’s much-loved fundraising event, the Great Big Walk for Herts, is back on Saturday 27th September.
Organised by Herts based charity Helping Herts, the walk invites residents across the county to take on a 13-mile countryside loop in support of a cause that matters to them. With 12 unique routes to choose from – each championing one of 12 Hertfordshire-based children’s charities – walkers can enjoy stunning local scenery while raising funds for a cause close to home.
Each loop is guided by experienced volunteers, with support from the Friends of Hertfordshire Way, ensuring a safe, scenic, and enjoyable experience. From rolling fields and woodlands to charming villages and historic trails, the routes showcase some of the best countryside Hertfordshire has to offer. The 13 mile Royston loop starts at 10am from The Heath Cafe Bar.
Thanks to a generous match-funding pot, every penny raised will be doubled, helping to create even more impact for children and young people across the county.
You can walk solo, with friends, or as part of a team from your workplace, school, or community group.
Last year, more than 300 people took part in the Great Big Walk for Herts, raising over £80,000. The funds helped local children with disabilities, young carers, those facing family breakdown or mental health challenges, and many more.
This year, participants can either choose a specific charity to support or fundraise for the overall Helping Herts campaign, with donations split across all 12 partner charities.

You’ll then be guided through your next steps, including choosing a loop and setting up your fundraising page.
