Humanitarian Hikers (March Edition)

A monthly social hike for humanitarian volunteers and professionals to connect and build their physical confidence walking distances with a load.

About the hike

Humanitarian response often involves long hours on your feet, uneven terrain, and carrying essential gear.

This hike creates space to:

• Connect with fellow humanitarians
• Maintain practical, mission-relevant fitness
• Build confidence gradually over distance

We move at a conversational pace. We prioritise consistency over intensity.

The goal is simple: walk together and stay ready.

What to expect

• 8-10km hike at a conversational pace
• Humanitarians of different fitness levels

Gear guidance

To reflect common operational conditions, we encourage participants to:

• Wear long pants
• Use proper walking shoes or boots
• Try carrying a light load (around 5–6kg) if comfortable

You’re not expected to meet all of this immediately. Build up gradually as you feel ready.

Important information

• Participants are responsible for assessing their own fitness to participate in this event.
• Weather and coordination updates will be shared before the event.
