Register now for 2008 Schools Walk the Wight
Supported by the Isle of Wight County Press
In 2007 over 1300 children registered for Schools Walk the Wight from 54 Schools, raised over £21,000 and got themselves fitter.
This year Schools can participate again. Schools Walk the Wight is a 'virtual' Walk where pupils build up the mileage in stages - walking to school, walking around the playground or out with their parents at the weekend - until their chosen distance is reached.
Primary Schools - 26 miles
Middle Schools - 72 miles.
They receive a 'mileage card' to keep track of how far they have walked.
Then, if they want, children can join in the last 4 miles on Walk the Wight day from Freshwater to the Needles Park. All Walkers will receive a medal and Certificate for completing the Walk.
Want to join in?
Visit the Walk the Wight website where there are more details and you can download the application form. Then take it to your school and ask for the Schools Walk the Wight Coordinator who is arranging everything.
New High School Team Challenge
How fast can you get a team of 10 walkers across the Walk the Wight route from Bembridge to the Needles Park? Your time is based on the last person to cross the finishing line.
To enter your team visit the Walk the Wight website. Each member needs to fill in an entry form, clearly stating the School and Team name.
Any questions, please contact info@emhfunding.com or phone 01983 528989
