A SIXTH annual Solstice Saunter is set to take place this summer in support of Manorlands. The event – scheduled for the evening of Saturday, June 21 – will be the first ‘live’ mass-participation fundraiser for the Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice since 2019. Airedale Dodgers Running Club is organising the venture, in which participants are invited to run, saunter or walk a five-mile route around the Bolton Abbey estate. Sponsorship is provided by JB Springs. Since the Saunter was first held in 2016, it has raised over £75,000 for Manorlands. When the event couldn’t go ahead in its usual format last year due to the Covid restrictions, a virtual alternative was staged instead. And a first-ever Winter Solstice Saunter was held, also virtually. Together they coined-in £38,000.
