A 48 hour running challenge is taking place in Scarborough this weekend.
Members of Run Scarborough are doing a 48 hour relay to raise funds for Saint Catherine's
Paul Sutherns is from the group, he says it's going to be a real team effort.
Run Scarborough, a free group created for anyone who wants to run or would like to get into running, will be taking on the challenge from Friday at 3pm all the way through until Sunday 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.
This is Run Scarborough’s third challenge fundraiser for the hospice, after taking on a 36 hour run in 2021 and a 48 hour challenge in 2022.
Paul Sutherns is hoping there will be lots of public support for the fundraising effort.
Paul Says they have chosen to support Saint Catherine's again this year as it's a cause close to their hearts.
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 £8,000 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!”
