Althorp House Marie Curie 10k Twilight special  

Brush off your walking boots, grab your poles and load up your picnic baskets in support of Marie Curie Cancer Care in Northamptonshire on, Saturday 7^th September.

The race will be held at one of England’s best-loved historic homes, Althorp. Sitting majestically amidst 1,400 acres of Northamptonshire countryside, Althorp has been home to the Spencer family for five hundred years.

Walk Ten is a sponsored twilight 10k walk which will wind it’s way through the stunning Estate beginning at 6pm, followed by an after dark picnic which culminates with a fire extravaganza as we mark 10pm, the time when the majority of Marie Curie nurses begin their evening shifts, entering homes of terminally ill patients to provide care for them and their families throughout the night.

This year alone, Marie Curie Cancer Care nurses aim to offer over 5,000 hours of care in the county, and with this years walk aiming to generate over £60,000, which equates to 3,000 hours of care, you can see the importance of this fundraising event.

The walk is for all ages, under 16’s walk for free and everyone who takes part in Walk Ten receives a Walk Ten t-shirt to wear on the night. It’s also a dog friendly event, so our four legged friends are more than welcome.

Registration for the event is now open and people can sign up HERE  or by calling 0845 0524184. Numbers for the event are limited, with no on the night registrations, so entry is strictly on a first come first served basis, so sign up early to avoid disappointment.

– We hope to see you there  –  Remember to wear your purple nwTEAMuk vest so other Nordic Walkers can find you!
