Sandstone Trail Challenge 2012

Saturday 12 May 2012

Entries are now open. No entries will be accepted after 28 April 2012. Half the places will be reserved for walkers.

In May 2011 Helsby Running Club revived the Sandstone Trail Challenge event that until 2006 was organised by the Fire Service in Frodsham. A good time was had by all, and we’re doing it again in 2012. The event follows the 33 miles of the way-marked Sandstone Trail from beginning to end, apart from a minor variation at the end to finish at the Community Centre in Frodsham.  The Sandstone Trail follows a sandstone ridge through the Cheshire plain, with some of the best walking in the county.

This is an LDWA-style challenge walk that also supports runners. Note that it is not a race. It is open to everyone aged 14 or over who’s fit enough and experienced enough to do it (although we can’t accept runners under 18).

Thanks

We can’t do this on our own, so we need to thank everyone who’s been helping us.  In particular 3^rd Frodsham Sea Scouts who help with both the planning and on the day, Cheshire Scouts Event Support Team, who run the radio communications, and Helsby WI, who make sure all finishers get fed properly. We’ll be adding others to this section as we rope them in to help!
