Toby raises £30k for a 30th year of celebrations for St. Oswald’s

st oswald presentation

We are really proud to have recently been awarded The Community Spirit Award by St. Oswald’s Hospice for our Toby fundraising success.

Wallsend Harriers has been supporting St. Oswald’s since 2008 and last year we reached our £30,000 target, which happily coincided with St. Oswald’s 30th birthday year.

The Toby run takes place every summer over one weekend where teams of runners do relays to cover over 100 (usually close to 200) miles across the North East of England. It’s a fantastic, memorable event. If you’ve not been involved before and fancy taking part then contact Elaine.

In the senior women’s race in 33rd place came the Wallsend A team with Sarah Robson 14.31, Laura Firth 15.59, Emily James 16.20 and Erin Prior 14.02. So much is said of what Erin has already achieved as a young emerging talent, but the big question is how much faster will she go in future?
