Ben is celebrating National Walking Month by inviting everyone in the automotive community to its Thames Bridges Trek and Kiltwalk.

The Thames Bridges Trek will take place on 13 September while the Kiltwalk will take place on 1 June in Aberdeen, 17 June in Dundee, and 14 September in Edinburgh.

Matt Wigginton, Director of Partnerships, Engagement and Income, said: “Right now, so many in our automotive family are facing real challenges, from struggles with stress, mental health, and money problems. Every step you take and every pound you raise enables us to support those who are struggling, or in crisis.

“So sign up today and challenge yourself to walk in support of your automotive family. By lacing up and stepping out for Ben, you’re doing more than just walking, you’re helping us change and save lives.

“Gather your colleagues, friends, or family, and join us, because together, we can walk towards a healthier future for everyone in our industry.”

The Thames Bridges Trek involves around 2,500 people on a 25km walk across 16 of London’s iconic bridges.

For the Kiltwalk, participants can choose between walking 4 miles, 11 miles, or the full 20 miles.

With 35% of people in the automotive industry lacking regular physical activity, Ben is inviting everyone to take steps and improve all aspects of health and wellbeing.

Participants can walk with friends, family or colleagues. The event will raise vital funds to help those in the industry who are struggling, or facing life’s, toughest challenges.
