A monthly social hike for humanitarian volunteers and professionals to connect and build their physical confidence walking distances with a load.
About the hike
Humanitarian response often involves long hours on your feet, uneven terrain, and carrying essential gear.
This hike creates space to:
Connect with fellow humanitarians
Maintain practical, mission-relevant fitness
Build confidence gradually over distance
We move at a conversational pace. We prioritise consistency over intensity.
The goal is simple: walk together and stay ready.
What to expect
8-10km hike at a conversational pace
Humanitarians of different fitness levels
Gear guidance
To reflect common operational conditions, we encourage participants to:
Wear long pants
Use proper walking shoes or boots
Try carrying a light load (around 5–6kg) if comfortable
You’re not expected to meet all of this immediately. Build up gradually as you feel ready.
