Annual 10km Charity Walk - NORTH DOWNS
Sunday 9th May 2010, starts/ends at Shalford Park, Guildford
Event sponsored by Surrey Advertiser and organised in conjunction with the Rotary Club (Guildford District).
This 10km walk leads through some of Surrey's finest countryside, starting and finishing at
Shalford Park (just south of Guildford’s Jolly Farmer public house). The route follows the river
Wey south out of Guildford to Shalford, and then turns eastward to join the Downs Link trail path
traversing Wonersh Common, the outskirts of Blackheath and up to St. Martha's Hill, returning
westward along the North Downs Way across The Chantries.
Entry is free, with each entrant being responsible for collecting and forwarding their individual
sponsorship money to their chosen charity. Free parking is available at Shalford Park and the
event starts at 9.45am (when walkers will be gathered together to begin), finishing by 3pm
although the route generally takes less than four hours to complete. Every penny raised by our
supporters will go to RASASC. Visit
www.guildfordrotary.co.uk/pages/walk.html
for more information, a route map and a downloadable sponsor form - and if you’d like to begin the walk as
part of a small RASASC group, let us know in the office – we’ll see what we can organise.

2010 / 2013 Marathon Fundraising
|
VIRGIN LONDON MARATHON
Sunday 25th April 2010, from Greenwich Park to The Mall.
There are two ways to "fun run" in the London Marathon - by being drawn in the annual ballot or by running
for a charity registered with the race organisers. RASASC has applied for charity entry places in the
2013 Marathon. If you'd like to be considered for a RASASC entry place
contact our office now (i.e. straightaway) because there are usually
more runners interested in running for each charity than there are charity places available, and we will
therefore select our runners based on their connection to our good cause and how much money they will
realistically be able to raise. Meanwhile there are other marathons around the UK that you can
enter for RASASC more easily - for further details, including sponsorship forms,
contact us!
