About the hike
The Humanitarian Hikers Walk was designed to help humanitarians connect with each other and build physical confidence carrying simple loads. 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.
