Welcome to the ‘Louise Smalley Walk’ website!
The Louise Smalley Walk is an annual sponsored challenge walk, 40 miles in length.
The 2019 walk will be on Saturday 22nd June.
We hold the walk to help raise money for local charities and good causes.
We are based in Whitwell, North East Derbyshire.
We are highly enthusiastic about seeing newcomers join the walk.
But if you don’t think you can do the walk itself, then we would love for you to become part of a support team!
The support teams are an integral part of the event and it would be a much more difficult undertaking without their assistance.
In 2019 we will be walking for the following beneficiary:
The 2018 walk raised £11,300 for Whitwell Cricket Club
The 2019 walk will be the Monsal Head route.
The closing date for the 2019 walk has now past.
If you’ve got your entry form in, start collecting sponsors, get in those last few miles of training and see the dates below. However, if you’ve missed out on this years walk, please come to any of the check points and cheer on those who are walking. Plus, join the mailing list so that you don’t miss out when we start accepting entries for the 2020 walk.
