Seagrave Wolds Challenge
Background- Seagrave Wolds Challenge
The event is taking place for the fourth time on Saturday November 15th 2008 to continues raising cash for the refurbishment of the Village Hall in Seagrave.
The format is similar to that of other well known challenges, welcoming both walkers and runners to a scenic and interesting route which includes sections of countryside not normally open to the public.
Year on year we are making small changes to the route when landowners allow, to make things more interesting for the participants who took part in our previous events, but maintaining one route with a distance of around 15.7 miles.
The Village Hall Committee organise the event, but over 100 residents from Seagrave help on the day creating a real Dads Army atmosphere, which demonstrates the strong community spirit we have in our village.
As I am (Chris Thompson) the only person familiar with walking/running/cycling challenge events of this type I feel the village residents have taken this to their hearts and given it a glowing reputation for home made food and plenty of it.
From the first event in 2005 the numbers taking part have risen steadily to 450 in 2007 and raising £3500 toward the Village Memorial Hall refurbishment.
