WALKS FOR ALL : EVERYONE IS WELCOME
May 2022
In line with most organised walking and running events that are held in May , we had to cancel the 2020 and 2021 events. We are reasonably confident that we will be running something in May 2022.
Probably dates- circular walks May 21st, linear walks May 22nd, with other events in the week leading up to this,
We are hoping to have short circular walks of about 1 to 2 miles from starting points at times to be announced. The starting points may be medical centres as in 2019, or community centres.
As before, we were also planning to have linear routes from each centre. These routes will be in 2 parts, a feeder route, then a section of one of three main routes.
We are always looking for leaders for all the walks, please get in touch via the contact page (or email info@telfordt5050miletrail.org.uk ) if you would like to help at the next event.
