Practice session set before beloved walking event returns

Published on

After an absence, the popular Caerphilly walking series is set to make a comeback, with a test event planned beforehand. The refreshed series is scheduled for 2027, though an initial trial is slated for October 2026. One hundred and fifty people will evaluate the proposed course, operational aspects, and overall setup ahead of the main revival. Renowned for its picturesque paths throughout the region, the event has drawn large numbers of participants and promoted active lifestyles. Building on earlier accomplishments, planners intend to improve the overall walking experience before the 2027 return. The council has indicated that further information regarding the trial walk, including registration possibilities, will be shared in the coming months. These chosen participants will assist in finalising the course, logistical considerations, and event structure. Those wishing to take part are encouraged to monitor council announcements. Further details can be found on the council’s online platforms.
