A 48 hour running challenge gets underway in Scarborough today.
members of Run Scarborough will be taking it in turns to run non-stop between Scarborough Spa and the Sea life centre over the next two days, to raise funds for Saint Catherine's.
Paul Sutherns is one of the runners, he explains how the event will work.
Run Scarborough is a free group created for anyone who wants to run or would like to get into running, they will be taking on the challenge from Friday 16th February at 3pm all the way through until Sunday 18th February at 3pm.
Runners will go in pairs from the Scarborough Spa on South Bay, round the sea front and Marine Drive towards the Sea Life Centre, before turning round and handing over to the next pair back at Scarborough Spa.
Paul says the runners should be very visible over the next two days and would appreciate any encouragement.
This is Run Scarborough’s fourth challenge fundraiser for the hospice, after taking on a 36-hour run in 2021 and 48-hour challenges in 2022 and 2023.
Tom Thornton, Marketing and Communications Lead at Saint Catherine’s, said:
“We cannot thank Paul and all of the members of Run Scarborough enough for their continued support. Fundraising challenges like this play a huge part in helping us raise the £11,000 we need every single day to provide our care to patients and families in the community.
“If you see any of the runners along Scarborough sea front this weekend, make sure to give them a beep or a cheer to keep them going!”
