Frequently Asked Questions

The answers to your most frequently asked questions can be found below. For anything else please do contact us.

What is the ‘Breast Walk Ever’?

The Breast Walk Ever is a charity walking event held to raise funds for Against Breast Cancer, who raise funds for vital research into secondary spread breast cancer, the main cause of all breast cancer-related deaths.

There are three distances available (marathon and half marathon) and supporters can choose which one is right for them.

Who can take part in the event?

The Breast Walk Ever is open to all everyone! including children. It is suitable for all ages and abilities, and whilst there is no age limit, all participants under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

How do I decide which route I should choose?

The event is designed to be a challenge, whether you are an experienced walker or are taking on a walking challenge for the first time, you will need to prepare for this event.

The average time for a half marathon walk is between 3 ½ and 6 ½ hours, whilst the average time for the full marathon walk is between 7 and 13 hours. On the day of the event, participants who have not arrived at the 10km checkpoint after 4.45 pm will continue at their own risk and will not be covered by the event’s liability.

Is there a ‘Breast Walk Ever’ near me?

There are currently 2 Breast Walk Ever events each year, one in Hampshire and one in Oxfordshire, with participants from all parts of the country welcome to join. There are currently no plans to expand the event to other areas.

What support is provided on the route?

At each checkpoint refreshments including hot and cold drinks and snacks are available. Each checkpoint will have toilets and first aid facilities. Checkpoints are marked on the maps. We advise everyone to carry their own lunch, water bottle and personal belongings in a small rucksack. Refills will be available at each checkpoint.

Can I bring my dog?

Dogs are more than welcome*, however, owners are required to take full responsibility.

The Breast Walk Ever also reserves the right to not allow you dog if we believe that the Dog is a risk to others safety.

*Except dogs which are banned under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991

How much sponsorship do I have to raise?

We are encouraging all the participants to raise a minimum of £100 in sponsorship.

When signing up for the event an online fundraising page will be created for you. This is the quickest and easiest way to start your fundraising, once you are registered, simply share you page with friends and family. We will send you some tips on how to do this via email. Alternatively, fundraising offline or through other websites, including Facebook, are also absolutely fine ways to fundraise.

Can I do the Breast Walk Ever for another charity?

The Breast Walk Ever is organised by Against Breast Cancer as a fundraising event for the charity, therefore we kindly ask that all participants raise sponsorship for Against Breast Cancer.

How will Against Breast Cancer support me?

When you sign up to take part in the Breast Walk Ever, we will send you a pack full of ideas and helpful hints on how to fundraise. We’ll also send you a few training tips to make sure you enjoy the Breast Walk Ever; and remember it’s for all the right reasons!

Can I do another walk for Against Breast Cancer?

As well as the Breast Walk Ever, you can fundraise for Against Breast Cancer by taking part in the range of other walks and treks that we offer, such as multi-day treks in both the UK and overseas. If you prefer, you can also organise your own walk or walking challenge, and raise funds through this.

How do I receive a T-shirt?

You can order pink Against Breast Cancer T-shirts and other materials on sign up or via the Against Breast Cancer Shop.
