The Taylor Trek is back for 2026!
Organised by Watford Community Sports & Education Trust and kindly sponsored by Mercer & Hole, come along on Sunday 4 October as trekkers look to take on three routes across Watford and the surrounding areas. The walk will take participants on an inspiring journey through the key sites of Graham Taylor’s Hornets history, whilst raising vital funds for two charities close to his heart.
Graham Taylor was not only Manager for Watford Football Club, he also dedicated a lot of his time to the local community and encouraged the players to do so to. Graham was a Patron of Watford Peace Hospice for many years and we are excited to reconnect with the football club and honour Graham Taylor and his legacy.
Route options:
The Trek will have three route options, so that you can pick a distance that suits you:
Family route: This route is an accessible 3.5 miles and is ideal for all the family (including well behaved pets!). 1.30pm registration opens | 2pm set off.
Medium route: At 8.3 miles, this route is best for those who want to get some exercise and grab some history along the way. 12.00pm registration opens | 12:30pm set off.
Challenge route: At just over 18 miles, this is your chance to challenge yourself whilst passing all the key sites of Graham Taylor’s Hornets history. 8am registration opens | 8.30am set off.
The walk will finish at Watford Football Club where medals will be be handed out to participants by family members of Graham Taylor.
Fundraising:
The minimum fundraising requirement is the registration fee, but we are encouraging people to fundraise and ask their friends and family to sponsor them, you can keep track of your fundraising on Enthuse (where you will be registering your place). Once you have registered you should be able to send your friends and family the link to which they can donate to.
