Organisers regret the path is not suitable for wheelchairs although part of the hospital grounds and community centre are wheelchair accessible.
Tickets are £2 for adults and £1 for accompanied children available on the day from the Greatham Community Centre, on Front Street.
It will be the first time the walk has gone ahead since 2020.
