Training programme

Training for the trek ensures you are physically prepared, able to complete the trek safely and will also greatly contribute to your enjoyment of the event. Don’t forget that, even if you are accustomed to walking, you will probably not be used to walking for up to 8 hours per day on uneven ground - sometimes walking on steep trails or difficult terrain. You should aim to increase your fitness levels to prepare yourself for this type of challenge.

Medical check-up

Before you start on a new training programme, it is always a good idea to consult with your local doctor. You may wish to take our recommended training programme along with you so the doctor knows the level of training you are hoping to carry out.

Please find below various training guidelines to help you prepare for your charity event:
