Participants should arrive at 11am. We suggest you bring a light packed lunch and re-usable water bottle, (ideally not plastic), to have with you on the walk.
The Walk will be taking place in September so dress appropriately for the weather. Hopefully, the sun will be out; however, it is advisable to bring a rain coat and/or umbrella just in case.
There is limited parking around Hyde Park. Anyone who drives into the park will have to pay and display so it is best to arrive at the 10 KM sponsored walk by public transport.

Mouth Cancer 10 KM Awareness Walk - From Home
The walk in Hyde Park will launch the Walk From Home Series.
​
Create a route, around your local area, with a total distance of 10 KM. This could be any combination such as 1 x 10 KM, 2 x 5 KM, 10 x 1 KM. The route can be done in one go, (10 KM is approximately 12500 steps and takes about one and a half to two hours to complete), or over several days. You can even set yourself challenges and do as many 10 KMs as you like over the duration of the event. Ideally this is a walk, but if you wish to run, walk backwards, hop, skip etc that is fine. The choice is yours! Just send us your photos and tag us in on social media - Instagram @mouthcancer, Facebook @mouthcancerfoundation and Twitter @mouthcancerMCF
​
Walk a total of 10 KM, as many times as you like, on your own or with your family, friends and pets around the comfort of your own home, garden or local area.

This is the only walk for mouth cancer anywhere in the world so the charity is encouraging as many people as possible to take part in this FREE 10 KM sponsored walk between Sunday 1st October and Thursday 30th November.
​
This year we are holding the walk throughout Mouth Cancer Action Month to raise as much awareness as possible and encourage the dental profession to get behind the event and take part.
​
2023 promises to be the most innovative walk to date. To participate please register online by completing the form as soon as possible so that we can send you further information in time for the event.

Training
We would suggest that you dress appropriately for the weather at the time of completing your 10 K. If you have a mouth cancer 10 KM Walk T shirt from previous years walks, we would love you to wear it while out on your 2023 walk. Take a re-usable water bottle, (ideally not plastic), to have with you and your family on the walk.
​
The main aim is to raise awareness of mouth cancer through your walk; we have come up with multiple ways of how this can be achieved:
-
Buy a mouth cancer t-shirt to wear on your walk - By having our logo visible you will spark huge amounts of interest with passers-by.
-
Create, draw, paint our logo and tag us in on social media, with your loop, logo, and tag a friend. We can also email across a jpeg of the charity logo.
-
Try and encourage a neighbour to do their bit, and post a Mouth Cancer Foundation flyer through their door!
Everybody is invited to participate and walk as far as they can! If you want to train to take part in the walk, please see our training tips below.
​
All participants will receive a medal for their achievement. See our Prizes page for details
