Join us this summer for friendly, free 5k walks led by Annie (Bath 5k Map), Zosia, Jen and Steph – as part of the Big BaNES 100k Challenge!
We’re bringing people together to move for a good cause – supporting two brilliant local youth charities: Mentoring Plus and Off The Record. Whether you want to walk with company, add some kilometres to your own 100k total, or just support a fantastic community initiative – you’re warmly invited.
Each walk will follow a beautiful route from the Bath 5k Map collection. Walks are open to everyone – no sign-up needed, we just encourage donations via our fundraiser page go directly to Mentoring Plus & Off The Record.
Walk one or all! Every 5k walked helps us reach our collective goal of 100km. Any questions get in touch, or feel free to call (07496)276003.

What’s the Big BaNES 100k?
The Big BaNES 100k is a flexible challenge open to anyone who wants to walk, run, cycle, swim (or mix it up!) to complete 100km between now and Friday 26 September 2025.
Launched in 2024, the campaign raised over £6,500 in its first year – and this year, with your help, we’re aiming even higher. Every pound raised supports local 5–25 year-olds facing tough challenges, helping them build confidence, improve wellbeing, and feel supported through mentoring, counselling, and positive activities
Whether you’re walking solo, joining one of our group events, or fundraising with friends or colleagues – you’re helping to make a real difference.
