The walk boasts four different routes along Durban's scenic promenade comprising of a 5km, 10km, 15km and 20km walk, catering for everyone from fun walkers to seasoned professionals. It is a fun outdoor event where families can get fit together in a safe and social environment.

Discovery, the main sponsor of the event for the second year in a row, has great incentives lined up for its Vitality members, who will earn points for taking part.

Hylton Kallner, Discovery's chief marketing officer said, “As a company, our goal is to encourage and provide our members and the public at large with the tools to embrace a healthy lifestyle. That is why it is so gratifying to support an event that unifies 15 000 KwaZulu-Natal residents in a spectacular event aimed at fostering the health benefits of walking”.
