TWILIGHT WALK // 21 SEP HEVER CASTLE NIGHT SWIM // 22 SEP
Join ellenor for another evening of camaraderie and fun. Whether you
are walking in memory of a loved one or looking for a challenge with
some friends you will be raising valuable funds for ellenor. Every year
hundreds of you join ellenor, with record numbers last year (over 750
walkers). The walk begins from the Cyclopark in Gravesend, again with
the choice of two routes; either the 8km or 12km route. Both will start
with one loop round the Cyclopark, before heading out through
Gravesend in a circular route, back to the Cyclopark. All Twilight Walk
participants will receive a Twilight Walk t-shirt and finisher's medal.
This unforgettable walk will start with a mass participation warm up;
there will be pit stops along the way. You will then receive hot chocolate,
a snack and medal to reward you for your efforts on your return.
7pm. Price: £17.50 (under 16s £12.50)
