Sunday 28 April 2024: The Wokingham Walk
Our next Wokingham Spring Walk will be on 28 April. As before it will give walkers the option of a 5 mile, 10 mile or 15 mile walk through beautiful countryside around Wolkingham.
For those who have not taken part before, the walk starts from Elms Field, near Aldi. You can choose to walk either the 5, 10 or 15 mile route. You can use the walk to connect with family and friends, as part of a fitness plan, as preparation for a future challenge or to raise money for a good cause of your choice.
Wokingham Walk Organiser, Andy Slay said “I’m delighted that this event has been so well received by the town and both the spring and autumn Wokingham Walks are now firm fixtures in Wokingham’s Calendar. Local charities also increasingly use the event to fundraise by sponsorship, something that we always wanted to happen from the event’s inception.”
Funds raised from the entry fees are distributed by Wokingham Lions Club to local charities and good causes. Places can be booked in advance by visiting www.wokinghamwalk.co.uk. The entrance fee remains at £15 for adults and £5 for children aged 12-17, under 12s go free. On the day entry is also available at the starting point on Elm’s Field from 9:00am to 10:30am.

Saturday 22 June 2024: Swimathon
The Wokingham Swimathon is a community event which allows teams of swimmers to raise funds for their nominated organisation or charity and having fun at the same time.
It will be held in the Wokingham Leisure Centre and there will be capacity for up to 30 teams of up to 8 participants. We invite local companies, clubs, families and groups of friends to enter teams. We hope teams will arrange sponsors so they can raise money for their chosen good causes. To enter a team please click here.
There is a nominal charge of £50 per team. Each session lasts 50 minutes. Team members swim in relays, with each adult swimming two lengths and children swimming one length. It’s not a race, but teams can seek sponsorship for the number of lengths completed in the session time.
You can download a sponsorship form here
A big thank you to the management team at the Wokingham Leisure Centre and Places Leisure, the company that runs the centre, without whom we couldn’t run this event.
