CRY Heart of Durham Walk 2021
Offering help and support to affected families @CRY_UK CardiacRiskintheYoung www.c-r-y.org.uk
Welcome Thank you very much for signing up for the 12th CRY Durham Walk on Sunday 19th September. We are so grateful to all our supporters who take part in the walk, whether it’s for the first time or as a regular. We know that some of our supporters have been every year since the first walk in 2010! Thanks to all of the CRY families, idividuals and organisations that have supported the walk, over £80,000 has been raised from the event since it started in 2010. Crucial awareness of CRY’s work has also been spread into communities across the UK in the build up to the event, as well as with the many people in Durham on the day.

On The Day... Start Time For health and safety reasons, even though the official start time is 11:00am, we will set off in small groups, the final group leaving by 11:30am. This will avoid large numbers of participants being on the route at any one time. Please arrive at Durham Amateur Rowing Club in Green Lane at least 30 minutes before the start time but please do not arrive before 9:30am. Please bring a facemask with you as the rowing club are advising everyone who enters their buildings to wear one After you have checked in, please await announcements. Food and drink will be available to purchase before the walk. Checking In The check-in desk will be open from 9:30am. Please do not arrive before this time. We have a new system for check in. As you have registered online, you will have received a ticket to your email address for each walker. Please remember to bring this with you on the day as you will need to hand this in to the check-in desk. Tickets can also be scanned from an email on your smartphone. If you have not received your tickets or are having trouble printing them, please email events@c-r-y.org.uk or call 01737 363222 to inform us. Each walker will need a ticket including children. If you have registered online with a group, one person can register all group members by handing in all of the tickets on the day. It is very important that we know who has turned up for the event. If additional people turn up, who haven’t previously registered, they should also report to the check-in desk with their £15 registration fee. Directions, spare back signs and T-Shirts will be available at the check-in desk.
