If an event sells out, you can join the waiting list. This works on a first come, first served basis and we will offer places out when they become available. If a place becomes available, you  will receive an email invite to register within 7 days. If you no longer wish to take part, you can decline the invite.

Wherever possible, we want everyone to be able to take part in a Mighty Hike.

The carer or support worker places will not be required to pay the registration fee.

To create a team, head to the registration form and follow the steps to become a Team Captain. Make sure you list the names and email addresses of your fellow team members. Once you have signed up, your team members will be sent an invitation to fill out their own registration form. As Team Captain you will have the option to cover their registration fee, otherwise your team members can pay when they receive their invite. Every time a member of the team completes their registration, you’ll be sent a confirmation email. That way you can monitor who has or has not joined your team.

Absolutely! You will receive a unique registration link in your confirmation email which can be forwarded on to any new team members who want to join the team. Please note that the team start time may not be available if all places in that wave have been filled.

Unfortunately, no dogs can take part in a Mighty Hike with the exception of assistance dogs. This is due to specific landowner permissions, which means dogs are not permitted anywhere along the route, including the start and finish locations. If you require the help from an assistance dog, please email us or call 0300 1000 200  in advance so we can request the necessary permissions.

No, Mighty Hikes are non-competitive hiking events. The event is a fully supported event and all arrangements have been based on a walking pace.
