A Sponsored Beach WalkSunday 7 September 2008
The Sandwalk Information
(Registration for 2008 is now available)
This page provides information about the event, how to participate and the charities the event is supporting.
A quick link menu is provided on the left.
The Sand Walk is a charitable fund raising event being orgainised jointly by the Rotary Clubs of Balgownie and Ellon. 2006 was its first year and the event continues to grow in popularity each year.
The challenge is to walk part of the expanse of golden sand extending to the North of Aberdeen between the Bridge of Don and Newburgh. Participants have the choice of walking 5 miles from Newburgh to Balmedie OR walking 6 miles from Bridge of Don to Balmedie. Parking for both options is provided at Balmedie and participants will be transported by bus to the start of their chosen walk.
Participants should submit their application form and they will be posted a sponsorship pack. On their sponsorship form they can select which of the charities being supported they would like to raise funds for.
There is a registration fee to cover administration costs. Any funds surplus to costs will be used by the two organising Rotary Clubs to support local charities.
Participants must register to ensure enough transport is available and enable the orgainisers to have sufficient resources in place for the numbers participating.
The charities being supported in 2008 are
ALEC (Aberdeenshire Life Education Centres)
CLAN (Cancer Link Aberdeen and North)
Erskine (Caring for ex-servicemen and women)
