Participators will also receive a limited edition tenth anniversairy Midnight Walk t-shirt.
Amongst the walkers pulling on their trainers are a team from Gatwick Airport.
Jess Patel is part of the Gatwick team. She said: “I know people who’ve been touched by St Catherine’s expert care so I know how important it is to help raise funds so the hospice can be there for other people when they need it most.
