Last Saturday, every month · Free
Walk with us on the last Saturday.
Seven in the morning, from the hospital in the Central Business District. Bring whoever you like. It is free, it has run every month for years, and there are free blood pressure and sugar checks at the end for anybody who wants them.

The last Saturday of this month
7am · The Limi Hospital, Central Business District
Register
You do not have to register to turn up — nobody is turned away. Registering just means we know roughly how many people to expect, how many check stations to set up, and how much water to bring.
Bring somebody with you
The walk works because people bring other people. Somebody who would never book a check-up will happily come for a walk on a Saturday morning, and that is often where a blood pressure problem gets found.

What actually happens
- 7am: gather at the hospital. Come a few minutes early if you want a warm-up.
- Aerobics: a led session before the walk, as gentle or as energetic as you make it.
- The walk: a set route through the Central Business District, at the pace of whoever is slowest.
- Free checks: blood pressure and blood sugar at the end, for anyone who wants them.
- Water is provided. Bring a hat if the sun is already up.
Common questions
Do I need to be fit?
No. People walk it, stroll it and push prams round it. The group moves at the speed of the slowest person, which is the point.
Can I bring my children?
Yes, and plenty of people do. Prams are fine on the route.
Is it really free?
Yes, including the checks at the end. You do not need to be a patient here and nobody will try to sign you up to anything.
What if it rains?
It usually goes ahead. If it is called off we say so on our WhatsApp and Instagram the evening before.
Can my company or church join as a group?
Yes. Tell us roughly how many in the registration note so we set up enough check stations. See also employers.
