Now in our 9th year, The Long Walk is the annual 3-day charity walk, coast-to-coast across the gorgeous sub-tropical island of Gran Canaria. It is open to anyone willing to overcome the challenge.

The Long Walk - Gran Canaria aims to show that no matter the size of the challenge ahead of us, by working together, one step at a time, we can all cross mountains.

We raise funds and awareness to assist families, groups and individuals on Gran Canaria facing potentially terminal illnesses, like Canarian Breast Cancer Association ACCM (Asociación Canaria de Cáncer de Mama y Ginecológico), environmental organisations helping to protect our island, such as Fundación FORESTA, and those dealing directly with poverty in our community, such as http://TheFoodProject.es Proyecto Vecinal de Alimentos de Mogán Nabohjelpen among others.

The Long Walk 2020 will start in the ancient island capital of Gáldar, on the north coast, and head south along The Pilgrims' Way, the most southerly recognised stretch of the famous Camino de Santiago (Ruta Jacobea). To complete our traditional stop at the highest summit on the island we will take a small detour from the trail up to Pico de Las Nieves, before descending through Tunte and down to the Dunes of Maspalomas.

This year i‘m going to dedicate my walk to Janice Larkin who sadly passed away earlier this year and she was a great supporter of this event. RIP Janice x
