Stride Out To The Lighthouse to start your summer!

The annual walk event is back again for 2024, this time on Saturday 20 July.

The free 6.25 mile walk sees participants make their way from The Parks Sports Centre in North Shields all the way along the beautiful coastline to St Mary’s Lighthouse.

It’s a great event for all the family, including the dog, and we’re placing an order for the sun that we hope gets delivered in time too!

Starting at 10.30am, you can aim to complete the route as quickly as you can, or have a saunter along (maybe enjoying an ice cream as you go!)

Once you reach the finish line there will be a few things to entertain including some healthy snacks, a steel band and a children’s ride. Free transport will then take all walkers back to The Parks.

You can sign up in advance before 18 July via Eventbrite, or register in person on the morning of the event (if you choose to register on the day, please arrive early).

The event is free but donations to Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade are welcomed.
