Scarborough’s Scalby Walk raises £2,700 for SPARKS Project charity
Scarborough’s Scalby Walk returned for its 62nd event over Easter weekend, and now the total amount raised for charity has been announced.
The six-mile walk starts and finishes at The Plough on Scalby’s High Street, with all money raised from this year's walk going to SPARKS Project – Solving Problems And Real Kickstart Solutions.
The ticket price for the walk includes half a pint of bitter, lager, squash or water at the pubs en route – The Three Jolly Sailors, the Red Lion, the Blacksmiths Arms and the Oak Wheel.
This year, the walk had 250 registrations - and 35 dogs attended.
The walk raised £2,700 for the SPARKS Project.
Michael Whiteley, Scalby Walk Chairman, said: “The feedback from the walk was fantastic as were all the fancy dress outfits.
“Scalby Walk as well as being a fun event is also a walking race. This is a charity walk and this year we raised £2,700 for a fantastic local charity SPARKS Project.”
