Join us for Parallel Windsor, which is held in the grounds of Windsor Great Park and staged on the iconic Long Walk. Parallel Windsor is a celebration of disability lifestyle, welcoming everybody of all ages, health conditions & abilities. The format of the event is a fully accessible Festival of Inclusivity with Challenge Events for everybody!
Challenge Events
Regardless of age, health condition or ability there is a challenge for everyone. Distances include: 100m, 1K, 5K, 10K & our ever popular SuperSensory. Our spirit of ‘Start Together; Finish Whenever’ means that there are no cut-off times & everyone who starts receives a medal, t-shirt & goody bag. Assistance animals & mobility aids are welcome. The 100m & 1K have Windsor Castle as an impressive backdrop. The 5K & 10K routes take in stunning views of the Deer Park. The innovative SuperSensory supports neurodiversity & participants with profound & multiple learning disabilities to exercise their senses over a series of challenges such as engaging with sound, taste, touch & smell. This year will also see the return of the Greatest Dancer Challenge, a mass participation dance for everyone to show off their best moves.
