A HOSPICE team is calling on walkers to step up and stride out 31 hilly miles this summer to raise funds for its care.
The St Richard’s Hospice Worcestershire Way Walk challenge takes place on Friday July 3 and will see participants trek from Bewdley to Malvern in a day.
Alison Parkes, fundraiser at St Richard’s Hospice, said: “We’re excited to run this amazing event once again, which takes in some of the county’s most stunning scenery.
“This challenge is no easy feat, as the route takes in some tough hills, but it’s such an incredible achievement when you cross the finish line in Malvern.
“We’re so grateful to everyone who steps out to walk the length of the Worcestershire Way for St Richard’s.”
Walkers set off from the Dog Lane Car Park in Bewdley between 5.45am and 6.30am, finishing at the Red Lion Hotel in Malvern by nightfall.
A buffet lunch, and physiotherapy massage, is provided at The Talbot at Knightwick – 20 miles into the route.
Last year’s Worcestershire Way Walk saw 88 walkers take part, raising more than £20,251 after costs, for St Richard’s Hospice.
