Take on our Junior Walking Challenge 👣
Looking for a simple, active way to get the kids outdoors? Our Junior Walking Challenge is a great way to build confidence, explore local routes and enjoy some fresh air together.

Children can choose their distance and earn a certificate:
🥉 Bronze - 5km
🥈 Silver - 7.5km
🥇 Gold - 10km

To take part, just head out for a walk and send us something that shows the journey. It could be a photo, a map, a drawing, a diary entry or anything creative that gets children excited about being outdoors 💚

As National Walking Month comes to a close, it is a great time to keep those healthy habits going and explore even more of Kent on foot.
