We’re planning to do this charity fundraising trek in September/October 2025. Dates will be finalised once we’ve got the minimum number of people signed up to join us.

The trek is 110km, which we will walk over eight days.

This trek is graded moderate to challenging. You will be trekking long distances over varying terrain which includes some steep uphill sections, in hot weather conditions.

You will be walking for many hours and sometimes on steep gradients. It is essential that you are fit enough to trek for at least 7-8 hours at a time for multiple consecutive days. Regular breaks are taken, but long days of walking are inevitable. You cannot be too fit for this challenge so you should train well before your departure.

All flights and travel in Italy are included in the event fee. We will meet in London, fly to Rome together and be driven from Rome to our starting point at Vertibo, before walking back to Rome for the final day.

We hope to have an option for trekkers to stay in Rome for an extra day, either for free time in this beautiful city or to complete their pilgrimage with a trip to St. Peter’s Basilica.

Don’t worry! You’ll have until Autumn 2025 to get used to walking. We’ll offer support materials to assist you in your preparation.

You need to be over 18 to join this trek, although there may be opportunity for 16 and 17 year olds to join in if accompanied by their responsible adult. There is no upper age limit – all you need is to be confident that you can handle several hours a day of walking, sometimes on challenging ground and in hot weather.

We have two options:

Flexi
You would cover the £1,995 trek fee yourself and fundraise for the target of a further £1,995.

Sponsorship
You choose to fundraise £3,990 to cover the cost of the trek and the gift to Life.
