In a world starkly altered by COVID-19, the 2020 Oxfam Trailwalker India, a fundraising walkathon has gone virtual and will be completely different from its past 16 successful editions. Just last year, thousands of Oxfam trail walkers had come together from all across India and around the world, to walk for better education, affordable and quality healthcare, gender equality, forest rights, and to end discrimination in the country's underserved states like Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh.

The special challenge, this year, is to complete either 100 kms or 50 kms in 10 days, virtually! Participants can walk within or around their own homes - on treadmills, in backyards, balconies, terrace and parks — in any safe environment, following all the rules of physical distancing. This also means that you can be in any city in any part of the world and still participate in the virtual Trailwalker and help end discrimination. Thousands have already undertaken this challenge in 2020. Those who missed out can join the next edition which begins on November 20 and ends on November 29. Registrations are open till November 19, 2020.
