Summer Solstice Stride
19 June, 5:30 - 8pm
Walk into summer in aid of Farleigh Hospice
Join Chelmsford City Sports for a walk in aid of Farleigh Hospice.
This gentle walk meets at 5.30pm at Anglia Ruskin University for a 6pm start. The friendly Walk Leaders and cycle marshals will guide you along the rivers, through the parks of Chelmsford into the sunset.
You can choose between a 5km route or 10km route. Both walks initially head in the same direction, and split at approximately 2.5km. The route will take you along public footpaths, some of which will be surfaced and some around field-edges.
Book in advance or pay on arrival. Please bring the correct money, as no change is available.
This is a third party event organised by Chelmsford City Council. Funds raised will be donated to Farleigh Hospice.

Essential information
- Make sure you wear comfortable, sensible shoes and clothes appropriate for the weather, as well as bringing sun lotion and water in the summer.
- Chelmsford City Sports advise that you wear layers just in case. We hope for a dry, warm evening, but there may be a chill in the air.
- Chelmsford City Sports provide a high-visibility wristband for all walkers; these must be worn at all times throughout the walk.
- Unfortunately, Chelmsford City Sports cannot allow any dogs other than assistance animals.
- The team of Walk Leaders will be leading and back marking each walk. There is also middle markers and cycle marshals to help keep you on track. If you get lost at any point, please wait for a Walk Leader to catch up to you before continuing. Please do not walk ahead of the front Walk Leaders, or behind the back markers (the back markers are there to walk at the pace of the slowest walkers, so there is no need to rush).
- If at any time during the walk you wish to leave, please notify a Walk Leader that you are doing so.
- A Chelmsford City Sports photographer will be taking photos at various points during the walk. Please notify a Walk Leader and/or the photographer if you do not wish to have your photograph taken. A consent form will be available on the evening with a copy of the image policy for you to read when you register.
- Toilets will be available at Anglia Ruskin University, with accessible toilets inside the Lord Ashcroft building.
- During daylight hours, the public toilets in Central Park (next to the cafe) and Admirals Park (near footbridge from Admirals Park to West Park) are open to walkers.
