WALKERS are being asked to step out in September and support a sponsored stroll for Cancer Support Yorkshire.

The event is a five-kilometre sponsored walk around Skipton and participants can walk, jog or run the route, which will have marshals along the way.

Participants will set off from The Three Links Club, on Rectory Lane, at about 7pm following a warm-up session. Refreshments will be served afterwards.

Helen Gatiss of Cancer Support Yorkshire said: “We really hope our local community will get behind this great event and make it a success. It is set to be a fun evening.”

There is a £10 registration fee to take part and registration can be made via the charity’s Facebook page, by telephoning 01756 228088 or emailing h.gatiss@csyorkshire.org.uk
