Before you walk different

Yes. Pre-registration and participation are free. PlanetHike merchandise is sold separately and is not an entry ticket.

The Chaos Walk takes place on Sunday, 17 October 2027. Local city details will be emailed to pre-registered participants and published on the site when confirmed.

That is the signature. Make the mismatch obvious: different colours, styles or silhouettes. Comfort and safe walking still come first.

Clash on purpose. Bright, unexpected combinations are encouraged. The goal is not a PlanetHike uniform — it is thousands of people looking different together.

You can walk without buying one, but the Chaos Fan is the shared object of the day and a big part of the group photographs and rituals. We strongly encourage participants to bring it.

Before the 17 October 2027 event. Pre-register and tick the shop alert to hear when Edition 001 opens.

When the shop opens, you can choose home delivery where available or event collection in a confirmed city. City collection stock is sent to the local team at least two weeks before event day.

Pre-register your city first. When a City Lead, crew and local route are ready, PlanetHike will publish the city details and email participants there.

Yes. Apply through the City Lead page. You do not need to be a professional event organiser, but you should know your city, be able to bring people together and care about safety and accessibility.

For each confirmed walk city, PlanetHike commits 20% of qualifying Chaos Fan sales revenue to a named local cleft organisation. Qualifying revenue is the Fan item price excluding VAT and delivery charges, less refunds. The local walk organisation selects the beneficiary, which may also choose to host or co-host the walk. We report the recipient and final donation after the sales period closes.
