A group of runners in Scarborough have raised £2,630 for Saint Catherine's after taking on a 48-hour seafront challenge.

Run Scarborough held a fundraiser earlier this month where participants ran in pairs from the Spa, along the seafront and Marine Drive towards the Sea Life Centre, for 30 minutes, before turning around and running back, handing over to the next pair when they arrive at the Spa.

Last year the group did a 36-hour run for Saint Catherine’s and raised £2,000, which spurred them on to come back with an even bigger event for 2022.

Susan Stephenson, communications and marketing manager, said: “On behalf of Saint Catherine’s, I wish to thank all those runners who ran day and night, rain and shine – and at times into a fierce headwind – to raise these much-needed funds for Saint Catherine’s. You are all superstars and this donation will make a real difference. Thank you!”
