The SunWalk London

See Peppa Pig at The SunWalk London!!

Take part in The SunWalk, in Battersea Park on 1st July 2012 and you will see Peppa Pig and George waving walkers off at the start-line for The SunWalk’s 5k and 10k walking challenges. They will also be appearing at intervals throughout the day.

The SunWalk London is a unique family event offering 5k, 10k and half marathon distances for the whole family; Walk the Walk is offering one free child place for every adult that enters, so there really is no excuse not to get the whole family involved!!

Walk the Walk is infamous for the spectacle of thousands of women and men Power Walking through the streets of London and Edinburgh at The MoonWalks in brightly decorated bras …….. The SunWalk London is no different! In true Walk the Walk style all participants aged 13 and over, will be wearing decorated bras… with the theme of “Tropical” the charity are looking forward to some exciting and exotic creations and of course every toddlers dream come true; the chance to meet and have a photo with Peppa Pig and George.
