Sunderland supporters are invited to put their best foot forward for charity as Foundation of Light embarks on a half marathon walk this summer!
People are invited to join the 13.1 mile challenge as SAFC’s official charity takes in the sights of Sunderland during a special event to raise money to support local families struggling with the cost of living crisis.
This great occasion can be shared with any four-legged friends as well-behaved dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a leash.
Taking place on Saturday 12 August, from 9am, fundraisers are invited to walk from Silksworth Ski Slope following scenic paths with views from the windmills at Eppleton. There will be a pitstop with refreshments midway at the Seaton Lane Inn, where other walkers could join to take part in the shorter route back to Silksworth.
At the finishing line all participants will be awarded with a medal, there’ll be a buffet at The Scullery and there’ll be some special guests to raise a glass to your efforts, with former SAFC players joining us for the occasion.
