The Great Big Walk for Herts is back and this year it’s bigger than ever.
On Saturday 26 September, walkers from across the county will come together to take on one of nine beautiful circular routes, all starting and finishing in Hertfordshire communities. You can choose to walk for a cause close to your heart, for one of our charity partners, or for Helping Herts itself.
Choose Your Loop
This year’s event features nine local loops, each approximately half marathon distance (around 13 miles). Some locations will also offer shorter loop options, making the event accessible whether you’re a seasoned walker or looking for a manageable challenge with friends or colleagues.
2026 walk locations:
-
Newgate Street
-
Hertford
-
Codicote
-
Bishop’s Stortford
