Saffery Rotary Walk 2020-2021 (5 June 2021)

Bigger & Better Than Ever Before - Families Can Now Share in this Special Occasion

We are pleased to report that for the first time Family Groups are invited to take part in this year's Saffery Rotary Walk which is returning to the Island's annual calendar BIGGER and BETTER than ever before. What an opportunity to shake off the disappointments caused by the Lockdowns of the past year!

If you wish to walk as a Family Group of between 2 and 8 members, you are most welcome to join in for the concluding two stages of the Round Island Walk which will be held on 5 June 2021. From Noon, family groups will be joining the Walk at our checkpoint in the Chouet car park (in front of Roc Salt Restaurant) and walk around the coast to the lively FINISH at North Beach in the centre of St Peter Port - a distance of 9 miles. If that is a step too far for you or your children, why not join the Walk at Bordeaux (from 2.00 pm) for the 3.5 mile walk into town.

A family group of up to 4 members may register to join our Family Walk for £40. Just £5 is charged for any further group members up to a maximum group size of 8.

Our corporate sponsors kindly meet Walk costs so ALL the money we raise from registration fees goes, without deduction, to the selected Bailiwick Charities chosen by the Walk Committee to benefit from this year's Walk. But we urge walkers to do more by raising sponsorship through the Race Nation Donation and Fund-Raising pages or by using the downloadable sponsorship form available on the Saffery Rotary Walk website home page.

Fund-raising aside, families will have a tremendous afternoon joining the hundreds of walkers crossing the finish line as they conclude their more arduous circumnavigation of Guernsey's wonderful coastline. Not only that, but you will be walking in one of the complimentary and sought after peaked caps which will be handed to you at the Start.

There is no better way to celebrate with fellow residents the freedoms that we benefit from here on our beautiful island. It is so simple to register. Simply select the ‘rainbow’ registration icon on the Saffery Rotary Walk website home page and follow the prompts on our registration site.
