Now in our 10th 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 2021 will start by the famous Faro de Maspalomas lighthouse, and head north along The Pilgrims Way the most southerly recognised stretch of the famous Camino de Santiago (Ruta Jacobea) up through the Fataga Valley to Tunte. Day 2 complete our ascent with 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 stopping at Cruz de Tejeda. Day 3 will descent through the pine forests to the Royal city of Galdar , and end on the north coast around sunset.
