The Oxfam Trailwalker
A Sporting Challenge for Solidarity
Oxfam France is an international solidarity organization that fights poverty and
inequality around the world. It promotes social, economic and climate justice
through humanitarian actions and awareness-raising campaigns.
An international event
Since the first event in 1981 in Hong-Kong, thousands of walkers around the world have taken part in the challenge and walked collectively the equivalent of more than 100 world tours. Since the beginning, these Oxfam ambassadors have raised over 40 million euros.
Oxfam Trailwalker became a global phenomenon: the Oxfam Trailwalker is organized in 5 countries including Belgium, Spain, Honk Kong China, North Korea and France.

Support crew
Supporters play an essential role by helping their team throughout the event. Indeed, they provide logistical support, encouragement, and, if needed, transport for walkers who wants to stop the challenge. Supporters are stationed at checkpoints with provisions, clothing, and a comforting presence to keep the walkers motivated. Behind every great team is an even greater support crew !
Volunteers
Volunteers at the Oxfam Trailwalker event are very important. Without them none of this would be possible. Getting involved as a volunteer is a wonderful commitment that contributes massively to the results of Oxfam’s work. Volunteers have several tasks such as :
- Checkpoint management
- Shuttle driving
- Logistics
- Closure walk
- Massage and physiotherapy support
