What a Night Hike!

We had a blast and we hope you did too! Over 1,200 of you turned up and went on a walk for cancer support. To all the walkers, sponsors, supporters, a big THANK YOU on behalf of all the clients you’ve helped to support through their cancer journey.

What is the Night Hike?

A sponsored 5K, 10K or 15K walk around Enfield raising money for The Nightingale to help keep our services free to thousands of people affected by cancer. It doesn’t matter which route you choose, you’ll be walking with likeminded people, determined to make their steps count!

The Night Hike starts at 6pm on Friday 16th May at the Enfield Civic Centre, with music, entertainment, warm up, fun photo opportunities and other surprises (to be announced soon!) before the Claxon sounds and the walking starts. Plus, all walkers receive the famous Night Hike Goody Bag, with new surprises and merchandise each year.

The Night Hike is for everyone and we really mean it! Children under 12 can register for free plus we are always happy to see furry four legged friends along the route. For any other questions, check out our Night Hike FAQs page.

What our Night Hikers have to say...

It was my first time taking part and what a great event. The route was good and the stewards were all lovely and so encouraging.

The Night Hike was an exceptional evening, packed full of smiles, joy and laughter all around! It’s a great feeling when a group of people get together to all support the same thing! We chose to do the 15k that evening, and it was genuinely the easiest 15k I’ve ever walked knowing that every step was making a difference to a charity close to my heart! A truly well organised event! I’ll be sure to never miss one!

My team of friends that joined me really enjoyed the atmosphere and buss of the whole event. They were over the moon that they could help raise money for a charity that has helped me in my cancer journey and help The Nightingale maintain support for the community. We loved our team photo!

Fabulous evening, all Marshalls friendly and supportive! I think this year’s event was fantastic and it can only get better.

The organisation on the event night was excellent. The organisers were so friendly and supportive. Love the two cheerleaders cheering us back to the finish line. Wonderful night. Thank you❤️

Never too young to walk

We had our youngest Night Hiker ever at just 5 weeks old and our older Night Hiker ever at 95 years old!

The Night Hike really is for everyone!

The Beavers walked their own route

No, not the animal! The Beavers from our local Scout Group didn’t want to miss out on the Night Hike fun (but 5K was a bit long for them), so they decided to make their own 3K route! They really showed incredible spirit and eagerness to take part with the community.

Doggy Bags for all

We didn’t think it was fair that only our two-legged walkers got a goody bag, so our friends at Creature Comforts came down and gave our delicious treats to our four-legged walkers!

As well as tennis balls and the cutest doggy bandanas!

Simple yet effective. Walking any distance has huge health benefits.
