The seven-mile sponsored walk ends with pasties and rugby
The participants will walk a new linear route along the picturesque Exe Valley Way and River Exe to the Millers Crossing Bridge and back, with live music and refreshments along the way.
They will be welcomed back to Double Locks with a free pint and pasty. The Six Nations match between England and Ireland, featuring five Exeter Chiefs players, will be screened on 6 large LED screens, within a new and exclusive Hospiscare Six Nations bar.
Organiser Sharon Ewart said: “This year’s Men’s Walk was so popular that places sold out, so we’re encouraging everyone to sign up early for next year’s event. In fact, if you sign up before 9 February we’ll enter your name into a draw with the chance of winning tickets to an Exeter Chiefs game at Sandy Park.
“The 2018 Men’s Walk promises to be our best yet, and it would be fantastic if we could beat this year’s total raised. Some 650 amazing walkers raised the huge sum of £42,000 to support Hospiscare’s work.
“Whatever our walkers achieve, they can be assured of a great time. The walk always generates tremendous camaraderie, and past years’ walkers tell us that it’s a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and make new ones.
