INDIA’S BIGGEST WALKATHON IS BACK!
OXFAM TRAILWALKER - MUMBAI
OXFAM TRAILWALKER - BENGALURU
WHAT IS OXFAM INDIA? Oxfam is a global movement of people, working together to end the injustice of poverty, tackling the inequality that keeps people poor. The main focus of Oxfam’s work is to protect and rebuild lives when disaster strikes, helping people build better lives for themselves, and for others. Oxfam also takes on issues like land rights, climate change and discrimination against women. Oxfam India’s mission is to work towards: • Greater state and institutional accountability • Effective participation of people in decisions affecting their lives, through articulation of their demands and rights • Increased power and influence of poor people over distribution and use of public resources and assets • Increased social inclusion of the poor • Changes in ideas and beliefs to inform equitable development strategies
WHAT IS OXFAM TRAILWALKER? Trailwalker started in 1981 as a teamwork test of endurance and determination by the legendary Gorkha Signal Regiment of the Queen’s army in Hong Kong. Since 1986 over 200,000 people have taken part in Oxfam Trailwalker, collectively raising over US $139 Million to fight poverty worldwide. There are many enthralling trails available now, taking you through rainforests, along rugged escarpments or up sharp hill climbs. You can take part in Oxfam Trailwalker in 10 different countries, with a choice of 17 routes. There is also a shorter distance event (50km) for those who don’t feel ready for the full 100 km.
OXFAM TRAILWALKER is a one-of-a-kind endurance and team challenge. A global phenomenon, Oxfam Trailwalker is India’s biggest walkathon for a cause where Teams of 4 walk 100 kms in 48 hours (or 50 kms in 24 hours). It is a ‘walk for equality’ - a movement of people working together so that every person in India can enjoy life free from Poverty. It is mandatory for each team to raise funds of a minimum amount before starting the event. These funds are eventually used by Oxfam India for its various programs and initiatives.

WALKER TESTIMONIALS
The Oxfam 100km trail walk was something sitting in my bucket list for a long time, and now even though I
have proudly ticked it off, finishing it in our first attempt in under 28 hours, I can hear the trail shouting out to
me again! I had heard of Oxfam and all the wonderful work they do but honestly didn't know what I was getting
into. Learning more about the difference Oxfam makes in people's lives helped my determination get stronger.
I knew I was doing this for myself, but thought if my body gives up and my mind doesn't support me either, there
would be something that would still motivate me and keep me going - the fight against gender inequality.

- Shilpa Pal, Team Invincibles, Mumbai
I can speak for our whole group of 12 that Trailwalker was one of the most memorable experiences of our year!
The camaraderie and bonding we shared during our various practises for the months preceding it, the way we all
came together seamlessly and productively to plan the event, the physical and mental challenge on the actual
day, the beauty and variety of the trail which meandered through stunning Indian fields, streams, villages,
canyons, and highways, the sense of accomplishment of completion, and the satisfying feeling of knowing we
had raised money for Oxfam’s programs to reduce poverty and injustice - were the highlights of our experience.

From Hospitality standpoint I just want to say that we want to give all we can with whatever budget we have,
so the credit goes to State Street management and all the volunteers. We had about 15 teams 25 volunteers
and lot of support staff this time .Also we would like to thank Oxfam, year in year they are improving and
bettering the Trailwalker experiences. It’s an honour to be part of event where people are walking for a cause
and we hope to do it again and again.
