Retirement Village Walkathon

Host a Charity Walkathon for local retirement village residents to raise funds for a cause and encourage community engagement and fitness.

Partner with a local retirement village to organise a walkathon event. Choose a safe and accessible route within or near the village grounds. Plan the event for a time that is convenient for the residents. Create a registration system and promote the event through the retirement village’s communication channels and local media. Recruit volunteers, including residents, to help with event setup, registration, and support during the walk. Provide walkers with essentials such as comfortable T-shirts, water stations, and post-walk refreshments. Recognise participants with small awards or certificates for their contribution.

A charity walkathon encourages physical activity among retirement village residents, promotes social interaction, and raises funds for a good cause. It fosters a sense of community, helps improve residents’ well-being, and supports a charitable cause.
