SLEAFORD, U.K. - Sept. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- If you’re planning on doing something outstanding this year, then why not take part in this year’s Spires and Steeples Challenge?! In its sixth year of operation, the Spires and Steeples challenge will take place on Sunday 13^th October 2013. The Challenge is a charity 26 mile or 13 mile walk or run starting in Lincoln or Metheringham and finishing in Sleaford, following the public footpaths and bridleways along the Arts & Heritage Trail.

The starting line for this year’s Spires and Steeples challenge has now been confirmed to be Lincoln Castle for the 26 mile participants and Metheringham Prince’s Street Playing Field for the 13 mile participants, finishing at The National Centre for Craft and Design in Sleaford.

If taking part doesn’t appeal, event organisers are seeking volunteers to help support the event. if you think you can spare some time and maybe help out by being a marshal along the route or even hand out water at a checkpoint, please do let us know by calling 01522 870273 or emailing eventsofficer@litc.org.uk. Volunteers are vitally important to the Challenge as they help the event run smoothly, without them the event just wouldn’t happen.

This year’s Challenge sponsors, Lincolnshire Co-operative, will also be looking to support the Challenge through their staff volunteering scheme, as well as a monetary donation which will go towards the First Aid cover through St John Ambulance during the event. Lincolnshire Co-op will also be providing water for all of the 5 checkpoints along the route.
