Gower Sunrise Walk of Hope 2024

For the second year running, we are proud to be the title sponsor of the Sunrise Walk of Hope, raising funds and awareness for Guernsey Mind, an amazing charity doing extremely important work for mental health in Guernsey. Join us for a sunrise walk along Guernsey's east coast on the 30th June at 4am! See below for full details:

The Gower Sunrise Walk of Hope aims to raise awareness around suicide and support Guernsey Mind's ongoing work regarding suicide preventative training.

The Walk is just over 5k and will begin at 4am from Vale Castle. Participants will walk at their own pace along the east coast to the Bathing Pools. We will start the walk just before sunrise, so begin in darkness and walk into the rising sun. This is a path that Guernsey Mind want to help people in suicide crisis take. Going from a dark place into hope and light through support and assistance of a network of people.

As per last year we would like this event to be as environmentally friendly as possible, if you would therefore like to wear your own brightly coloured T-shirt rather than purchasing a new one please do so. We also ask walkers to bring their own refillable water bottles.

Walker registration will begin from 3:15am with the walk starting at 4am. On registration you will register and receive a hand stamp rather than race numbers. Should you wish to walk for someone please feel free to pin to the back of your shirts 'I am walking for ..' (this is optional). Guernsey Mind and Gower will have marshals along the route. In addition to last year, there will be selfie frames along the way. Although it will be early, please take the time to capture the moment and post on your socials!
