Help with the Viking Challenge

This year Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust has been chosen as the official charity for the Viking Challenge, a fundraiser by the Redmile CofE School which has become one of the UK’s largest off road amateur cycle events attracting over 1,400 riders from all over the county!  The route takes in the Vale of Belvoir countryside using the local section of the Viking Way, an ancient track-way originally linking Newark and Stamford, as a means of raising much-needed funds for the school and a nominated charity each year.

We need the assistance of 50 volunteers to marshal the event taking place on Sunday 1st October 2017. If you would like to help marshal the event and raise funds for Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust then please get in touch with Cally Keetley (callymartin86@gmail.com). Of course, if you would prefer to enter the event as a rider you can register via the website. The more participants, the more money will be raised for the Trust.
