Scarborough's seafront is the location for a 48 hour running challenge this weekend.
A group of Scarborough runners are taking on a 48 hour running challenge this weekend to raise funds for Saint Catherine's.
Paul Sutherns from Run Scarborough says the challenge runs from lunchtime today until 1pm on Sunday.
Run Scarborough is a local group created for anyone who wants to run or would like to get into running, their members will be taking on the 48-hour relay challenge for charity from Friday, 7th March at 1pm all the way through until Sunday, 9th March at 1pm to raise vital funds for patient care at Saint Catherine’s Hospice.
Runners will go in pairs starting from Scarborough Spa in the South Bay, round the sea front and Marine Drive towards the Sea Life Centre for 30 minutes before turning round and handing over to the next pair back at Scarborough Spa.
This Relay will be Run Scarborough’s fifth challenge fundraiser in aid of Saint Catherine’s, after taking on a 36-hour run in 2021 and 48-hour challenges in 2022 and 2023 and 2024.
Paul Sutherns from the group says there will be around 80 runners taking part.
Saint Catherine’s Fundraiser Louise Gravestock said
“We cannot thank Paul and all of the members of Run Scarborough Group enough for their fabulous on-going support. It is because of such wonderful support from our Community that we are able to continue in the care and comfort of our patients and their families.
“If you see any of the Runners along Scarborough seafront during this weekend, please give them a cheer or a wave to keep them going!”
