Accessibility at 7 Bridges Walk 

We want everyone to feel welcome and supported at 7 Bridges Walk.

Our team have worked hard to make the course as accessible as possible so that everyone can finish and complete the course in their own way.

However, due to natural terrain in some areas, certain sections of the course may not be suitable for all mobility needs.

We recommend bringing a support person to help navigate any tricky spots.

Our team will be on hand throughout the day, to help answer any questions.

There will be plenty of signage and staff on the route.

You will find everything you need on this page, and if you have further quesions, please reach out to our team.
