FOLLOWING a successful Hampshire debut, a breast cancer charity has opened entries for next year’s walking event.

Oxfordshire charity Against Breast Cancer, brought its ‘Breast Walk Ever’ to Hampshire for the first time this year.

The organisation has announced that it will be returning to Winchester on Sunday, May 12, with entries now open.

Walkers can opt for a full or half marathon or a 10k with all routes starting just outside Winchester in Hursley and following waymarked trails such as the Clarendon, Itchen and Pilgrims Way.

All three walks give participants the chance to follow in the footsteps of King Charles II following his defeat to Cromwell in 1651, on the ancient Monarch’s way too.

Event manager, Richard Martin, said: “We are delighted to be back in Hampshire close to where a significant proportion of our research takes place in Southampton. We received lots of lovely feedback last year from supporters who relished the chance to talk to a number of our researchers who were volunteering at the various support stops along the course.”

Entry fees start from £13. Walkers can expect regular support stops and a complimentary massage at the finish as well as a medal.

There is free parking at the event HQ in Hursley too. All walkers are asked to raise funds with an initial target of just £75.

Against Breast Cancer’s Breast Walk Ever events have been going since 2014. Walkers have raised almost £300,000 for research into secondary spread breast cancer, a lot of which is done at the University of Southampton.
