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.

"Simply put, we love rhinos! Our aim is to help the species survive at sustainable levels in their natural habitat. Rhino have been on the planet for 50 million years, and have evolved into their current form throughout that time as the environment and their habitat has changed. They now face their biggest challenge as man restricts their natural habitat and kills them for their horn. They are perhaps symbolic of a struggle between man and the natural world. We aim to help the species survive for future generations, this means that we favour projects that support the development of sustainable populations."
