Spires And Steeples Challenge - 18 October 2009

Are you ready for the Spires & Steeples Challenge?

The Challenge will test walkers and runners over a full or half marathon distance following the Spires & Steeples Arts and Heritage Trail from Lincoln to Sleaford.

The Challenge will start from Lincoln Castle, taking in the picturesque Lincolnshire villages that sit alongside the B1188, the churches as well as a wide variety of beautiful and interesting artworks, as it winds its way to Metheringham for the 12 mile finish, and Sleaford for the 26 mile finish. The Challenge takes place on Sunday 18 October.

With regular checkpoints, drink stations and first aid facilities you'll be in safe hands! So get your running shoes and walking boots at the ready, for what promises to be a fantastic event!

OR - can you spare time on the day to assist us with the race as it passes through the villages? You could act as a marshal along the route, record the walkers/runners at the checkpoints or help with handing out refreshments.
