October 2008 Walking / Running
Get the feel good factor and get Into your stride in October
October is a month of Autumn colours and crisp, fresh air and we've got a great range of activities this month which will help you enjoy it. Take to the paths and streets of Durham with one of the following.
ORGANISED WALKS
An experienced guide will lead an easy going 3 - 4 mile walk for most abilities. Or if you fancy going it alone, get a copy of our Durham City walks pack, a series of easy to moderate local routes.
LUNCHTIME WALKS
Why don't you stretch your legs in the middle of the day by joining in one of our lunchtime walks. For one week only, Monday 20 - Friday 24 October, we'll provide guides from two locations. You'll feel better for it and you can work up an appetite for your sandwich at the same time! Anyone who attends will be given a lunchtime walks leaflet to carry on the good work.
DURHAM'S BIG FUN FAMILY RUN: SUNDAY 26 OCTOBER
Anyone remember taking part in the kids Nike Fun Run from Sherburn down to Durham? Perhaps you've got kids yourself now?
We've got a new family fun run, taking place right in the City Centre. It's a 4km run for the whole family which you can take at your own pace as the emphasis is on FUN! The route takes you along the picturesque river banks, past the Cathedral and through the city streets. There'll be entertainment and goody bags for all who take part. What's more, you'll be entered into a free draw and could win a free family swimming membership at Freeman's Quay.
Warm up: 9.30am Start:10.00am, Durham University Cricket Club, Top Field, Green Lane, Durham
