The Big Midnight Walk Torbay Leisure Centre Torquay Road Paignton Devon TQ4 5JR Tel: 01803 217641 A Guided Walk on a Saturday night with a difference? Then gather together your friends, and join the ‘Big Midnight Walk’, the first ever ladies only midnight walk in South Devon. We hope to see 1,500 ladies take part in one of the largest charitable events the area has ever seen. This special moonlit walk promises to be a fantastic night out with refreshments, entertainment and plenty of giggles along the way. This thirteen mile sponsored walk (that’s a half marathon) under the moon and twinkling stars takes in the spectacular sweep of Torbay from Goodrington to Babbacombe, before looping back to the start. (You can opt out at the half way stage!). This large scale charity event is sponsored by The Edge UK and supported by the Herald Express, so is shaping up to be huge! Make a difference by taking part in the Big Midnight Walk, you’ll be helping people affected by cancer and other life-limiting conditions. The money raised through sponsorship will be split equally between two vital South Devon charities. Macmillan Cancer Support and Rowcroft, Torbay and South Devon's Hospice. |
