The challenge

Share advice, laughter, and support at the Maidstone Memory Walk. And when you cross the finish line, celebrate with your medal, knowing you have walked for a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

The meeting point and route

Maidstone Memory Walk will start and finish in the event site next to the event car park in the field across from the cafe at Mote Park. Please note this area is on grass. Find us using the postcode ME15 7RN, alternatively enter goat.bless.expose into the What3Words App.

To make sure everyone's included, there are two routes to choose from on the day of Memory Walk.

A shorter 2.5km route, which is wheelchair accessible and suitable for all ages and abilities.

The longer 5km route is a little more challenging, and will take you around the park and lake, as well as through woodland. This route is not suitable for pushchairs or wheelchairs due to the nature of the pathways.

Please note the route and distance is subject to change, and suitable footwear is recommended.
