Scarborough running group to tackle 48-hour relay challenge for Saint Catherine's
Run Scarborough, a local group created for anyone who wants to run or would like to get into running, will be taking on a 48-hour relay challenge for charity.
The relay takes place from Friday March 6 at 1pm until Sunday, March 8 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 sixth challenge fundraiser in aid of Saint Catherine’s.
Paul Sutherns, leader of the Run Scarborough group, said: “This is the sixth year we’ve organised the charity relay run, and it’s incredible to see how it’s grown.
“What started as a small community effort has become something our runners really look forward to each year.
“It’s not just about completing the miles, it’s about coming together, supporting each other, and raising funds for a cause that matters to us.”

Saint Catherine’s Fundraiser Louise Gravestock said “We cannot thank Paul and all of the members of Run Scarborough Group enough for their fabulous fundraising and 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 the weekend, please give them a cheer or a wave to keep them going!”
