RESIDENTS are being invited to lace up their walking boots and get into the countryside at this year’s spring Wokingham Walk.
The event is taking place on Sunday, April 23 – a little earlier than usual so it doesn’t clash with the king’s coronation weekend.
Organised by Wokingham Lions, the event sees hundreds of people take part in one of three routes: a five-, 10- or 15-mile exploration of the land around the town centre. There is also a five-mile accessible route.
Each route starts and ends at Elms Field.
Entry fees go to charities supported by the Lions, and participants can raise their own donations from supporters if they wish – or they can just enjoy the fresh air and exercise.
Wokingham Walk organiser Andy Slay said: “I’m delighted that this event has been so well received by the town and both the spring and autumn Wokingham Walks are now firm fixtures in Wokingham’s Calendar.
“Local charities also increasingly use the event to fundraise by sponsorship, something that we always wanted to happen from the event’s inception.”
Entry is £15, or £5 for ages 12 to 17. Under 12s can enjoy the event for free.
Registration is between 9am and 10.30am on the day.
