THE annual St Swithun’s Way Walk and Run, in support of the young people of Treloar School and College, looks like being the best yet, with around 200 folk already signed up for Sunday’s event.

Starting at 10am from the Treloar campus in Holybourne, people can select to walk the five miles to Bentley, following the ancient path once used by pilgrims travelling between Winchester, the capital of Saxon England, and historic Farnham.

The route is mainly flat or gently undulating through meadows, woodland and pretty villages, and is ideal for families with young children.

For those opting to walk the full 10 miles to Farnham, the second half of the journey is more challenging, with a long hilly section offering stunning views over the surrounding countryside.

Those choosing to run the route will start at 11am from Holybourne.

Entry for either distance is £10, and the 10-mile challenge includes a bacon butty at the finish. Cakes and refreshments will be available for a small donation at the five-mile point and water and bananas and energy bars will be available along the route. Buses will be available for the return journey.
