What is the footprint grading?

We thought we should make it easier for our walkers to understand what's required to take on one of our challenges so we have added a footprint scale to each of our events!

1 Foot:

Indicates challenges of 5k, 10k and Half Marathons, ideal for all beginners or for those wanting to keep a level of fitness up, but their training light.

  • MoonWalk Scotland New Moon
  • 25km Thames Path Challenge
  • Great North Run - must be completed in 4 hours, we recommend 3 hrs and 25 mins to have the best experience

2 Feet:

Whilst any half marathon is a goal, doing it at night does increase the challenge. 

  • MoonWalk Half Marathons (London and Edinburgh)
  • Disneyland Paris - a timed 10K and Half Marathon, you must complete the 10K within 1hr and 30 mins, and the Half Marathon within 3hrs and 17 mins.

3 Feet:

Whilst any marathon is a goal, doing it at night does increase the challenge. 

  • MoonWalk Full Marathons (London and Edinburgh)

4 Feet:

Indicates challenges that are the next step up on the footprint grade.

  • The MoonWalk Iceland - it is a remote part of the world, there is no mass support so Walkers will be tested to use their own determination and motivation to cross the line. There is a max finishing time of 10 hours 
  • The Inca Trail Peru - requires endurance at altitude and the trail needs a certain level of training, plus the camping involved and the Gate of the Sun steps into Machu Picchu are challenging
