This year marks the 13th annual charity walks and runs organised by the Rotary Club of Nailsea and Backwell.

For 2024 more than 100 teams signed up with most setting off on their chosen route on Sunday, June 9.

Nailsea Charity Walks & Runs gives people the opportunity to get together, enjoy the glorious North Somerset countryside with friends and family and raise money for their favourite local good causes.

It’s also a way for local charities, schools, organisations and sports clubs to raise money with a sponsored walk or run.

Every year the event raises more than £20,000 for good causes and since its conception a quarter of a million pounds has been raised.

There are three clearly marked route and no-one has yet got lost!

They are a 5k ‘stroll’ which is also suitable for disability vehicles and pushchairs/strollers, a 10k for those who prefer a slightly more challenging route and a 20k for the more experienced walker who is fit and enjoys even more of a challenge.

All routes start and finish at the Scotch Horn Centre.

And if June 9th wasn’t a good date for you or your group you have until the end of July to complete the challenge with maps and markers available.

Rotarian Alan Davies said: “Charities are struggling in these difficult times and desperately need our support.

"So we are challenging the community to put out another record number of participants in 2024 and to raise another record amount of money.”

In addition to the registration fee which is used to support local charities many participants were also being sponsored for the charity of their choice.

On the day there were 150 registrations with approximately 100 participants on the Sunday event; the other 50 are making their own arrangements to walk or run before the end of July.

Registration is remaining open until the end of July.
