We’ve added some ideas below that might inspire you:
- Are you already part of a local hiking or running club? Why not suggest that everyone dresses up as Where’s Wally? for one of your sessions.
- Bring a group along to take a Where’s Wally? themed walking tour of your local town, stopping off at your favourite spots along the way. Make sure to tag us in any pictures on social media.
- Use the Where’s Wally? Fun Run as your spring work social! Run together through your local park and end the day at your local pub for a celebratory drink as wallys!
