MALVERN residents are being urged to join hundreds of walkers for this year’s ‘Rock Pound the Bounds’ to raise vital funds for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.
The walking event, taking place on Sunday, April 30, will see participants choose from a marathon, 18 mile, half marathon, nine mile, six mile or three mile route, through terrain including woodland, pasture, riverside and meadow around the parish boundary of Rock in Worcestershire.
Registration starts from £6 for adults on the six and nine mile, and half marathon routes, and £8 for the 18 mile and marathon routes. All those taking part are also encouraged to raise sponsorship money for the charity leading up to the event.
Michelle McCracken, Worcestershire fundraising manager for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said: “Rock Pound the Bounds is a lovely day out for the whole family, with routes for all abilities, including a three mile treasure trail for young families.
“In 2016, the event raised over £7,000 for the charity, which helped to fund two lifesaving air ambulance missions.”
