GM Moving are proud to share their GM Walking Festival 2024 Impact Report and festival video highlighting the huge success of this year’s event.

Aligning with May’s National Walking Month, The GM Walking Festival is a celebration of walking and an opportunity for everyone to join in with a programme of free, organised group walks.

The GM Walking Festival is built and shaped by local people, and is overseen by a Festival Steering Group which is convened by GM Moving.

In 2024, nearly 400 walking and wheeling events took place in May as part of the celebrations across all ten boroughs with Manchester (82) and Rochdale (68) the two busiest boroughs.

Organisations from the VCSE sector, councils, leisure trusts, walking groups, health care providers, schools and many more showcased the joy of walking during the festival.

GM Moving are committed to celebrating walking and providing opportunities to grow walking and wheeling through the GM Walking Festival.

For the 2025 edition, we will be continuing our focus on connecting walking to the health and social care system and reaching our under-served communities.

We look forward to working alongside the steering group, partners, and supporters, on next year’s festival and welcome input into next year’s event via [email protected].

Thank you to everyone who supported the festival in 2024.
