2020/21 Walk Update
Following the news this week of the UK's roadmap out of lockdown, the K2B Committee would like to reaffirm that we plan to hold the postponed 2020 walk on the 18th September 2021. This will of course be subject to any guidelines at the time.
We plan to hold the Resolution Cup Challenge that was postponed in September 2020 prior to the full walk. This is currently planned to take place on the 8th May though may shift a little depending on Government guidelines as we reach May.
All walkers already registered for the 2020 walk will remain so and teams will remain as is. We'll be reviewing the current teams with coordinators after the Resolution Cup Challenge mid-year so if you're not already registered or are thinking that maybe after 18 months of practice it's time to upgrade to the full 40 miles, there's still plenty of opportunity.
Please see our updated FAQs for more infomation
The Walk Day In Case of Emergency (ICE) phone number has changed. It is now 0777 888 4020. The new number will be printed on lanyards and route cards.
Unapproved charities
We have previously supported the following charities and good causes. Each September, for charities which are on our 'Valid Charities list, we will email the contact email address to ask the charity(good cause) to re-validate their details - this gives us confidence that the charity is still active and the details we have on file are correct. If the charity do not do this we will move them to this unapproved charities list (it is possibly because the contact we have on file has left the organisation). If you are a representative of one of these organisations, please contact us at charity@keswick2barrow.co.uk to re-validate your details.
