The 2009 Bike Run

Saturday 12 September

Application and Sponsorship Forms now available

The Tenth riding of the Karen Teale Memorial Bike Run (the tenth riding of the Alford Charity Bike Run) will be held on Saturday 12 September 2009. This year Alford District Rotary Club have been asked to organise the event with a view to taking on this yearly role. The club are being supported by the previous organisers and the band of helpers on which the event relies.

Come and join us on the 10th KT Bike Run, Alford – a charity challenge starting from Haughton Park in Alford, through the beautiful Donside countryside and glens.  Two routes to choose from, a gentle 13 mile and a more challenging 27 mile route – you choose!

Don’t forget, there is also an event for small children within the confines of Haughton Park.

Please join us and help raise even more money than before - its a great day out.

In the last seven years over £50,000 has been raised for a range of local and national charities as well as other local groups.

Two runs again - the 13 miles around Alford, and the 27 miles around upper Donside, with the kiddies run within Haughton Park.
