Downloading / Completing your ‘Walk the Line’ Sponsorship Form
Thank you for taking part in our ‘Walk the Line’ challenge. The goal of this challenge is to complete a set number of miles, and raise funds for a great cause along the way.
The “Walk the Line” route is about seven miles long and sets off at midday (25/10/2025) from the car park and takes four to five hours to complete. Sturdy footwear is essential for walking stoney paths, stiles and fields. Walkers should gather at the Selly Oak Scout Hut entrance a few minutes before 12.00 on the day enabling a punctual start.
During the walk we will be using a drone to film all the fun. The footage will be published shortly afterwards on Lapal’s Facebook page for everyone to enjoy. All participants will be asked to sign our Event Register and Consent Form on the day.
