A new campaign from the Ramblers aims to get Britain moving throughout 2022, with prizes on offer for anyone that takes part.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project, which is partnered by 220 Triathlon<\/em>\u2019s publisher Immediate Media, is encouraging people to get into the outdoors and explore on foot.<\/p>\n

As part of the campaign, Ramblers is asking for people to pledge how many miles they\u2019ll aim to walk (or run) this year and commit to it by entering their pledge onto the official Let\u2019s Walk Together website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Anyone that enters their pledge will be in with a chance of winning \u00a31,000 toward a family walking holiday. There are also monthly prizes of \u00a3100 to spend at sustainable outdoor brand Finisterre (we love the brand\u2019s Tego swim robe<\/a><\/strong> and Nebulas insulated jacket<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hiking and triathlon are natural bedfellows according to Merlin Tri Coaching\u2019s Georgia Jackson<\/strong><\/a>, who explains that walking will \u201cadd extra pennies to your endurance piggybank at a relatively low impact\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you add hills and challenging terrain, you\u2019ll build leg and core strength, balance and stability,\u201d she adds. \u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity to focus on good posture and alignment, too \u2013 key foundations of athletic performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, those new to the sport may also be taking a run\/walk approach<\/a><\/strong> to their running training, and the Let\u2019s Walk Together pledge may prove ideal added motivation \u2013 especially if you know a holiday and some free gear is also on the cards.<\/p>\n

You can discover more about the campaign or enter the prize draw by heading to the Let\u2019s Walk Together website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
