A GROUP of Scarborough runners will be taking on a huge 36-hour challenge to raise funds for patient care at Saint Catherine’s Hospice. Run Scarborough, a community running group, will be holding the fundraiser from 5am on Saturday February 20, through the day and night until 5pm on Sunday February 21. Participants will run in pairs, socially distanced, from the Spa, along the seafront and Marine Drive towards the Sea Life Centre, for 30 minutes, then turn around and run back, handing over to the next pair when they arrive at the Spa. Group leader Paul Sutherns said the idea began as a 12-hour challenge and just snowballed.
