The people behind the walk
Meet the team.
A small, experienced crew dedicated to getting 30+ walkers safely from border to border — and a couple of open roles for the right people to join us.
Security & oversight
Supported by experienced partners.
The security of the event is provided by PGS Solution alongside Secret Compass bringing professional risk management and expedition expertise to keep every walker safe.
PGS Solution
PGS Solution is a specialist event security firm with deep experience protecting large-scale gatherings, corporate events and complex operations across the Middle Eastern region.

On the ground, their trained personnel will handle crowd management around start and finish points, VIP and team protection, liaison with local authorities, and discreet on-route security across all 27 days. Their proactive, low-profile approach means walkers can focus on the miles ahead while every safety detail is meticulously managed in the background.
