Walkers completing a Sunrise walk

Sunrise Walk

Our events at sunrise give you the chance to remember loved ones, get together with family and friends, and explore some beautiful parts of the country before most people are even awake. We've been running our Sunrise Walk for the last decade and we'd love to welcome you to one this year.

Sunrise Walk

Richmond

Richmond – 25 June

Our picturesque Richmond route – ideal for families with young children due to the mostly flat terrain – takes participants past famous sights including the River Thames, Hampton Court and the beautiful and wildlife packed Bushy and Richmond Parks.

Reigate

Reigate – 8 July

Our new Reigate route starts at the picturesque and historical Gatton Park. Chose from a shorter route exploring the park, or a longer one along the North Downs taking in the views from Reigate Hill.

Snowdon

Sunrise Trek Yr Wyddfa

Are you ready for a more rugged challenge? How about scaling one of the UK’s highest mountains in the dark? Our Sunrise Trek up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is our toughest challenge in the Sunrise series, asking participants to trek from the bottom of the mountain at night to reach the summit at sunrise.

Virtual Sunrise Walk

Can’t join one of our events, or have a perfect walk you’d like to experience at sunrise?  Create your own Sunrise Walk virtually – choose the route and day, you’d like to take part from the end of May to end of June. You could even plan it for the same day as our Richmond or Reigate walks so we’ll be walking ‘together’ wherever your route may take you.
