2019 Tour des Marches is now FULL

The message you will see on the SiEntries website:


This event is now full...


Note: No waiting list, no entries on the day (obviously).


Thanks to all those who've signed up for our little walk. For our September event to be full at the end of May is wonderful. It does make a difference on the organising front.

If you've missed the entry window, you may like to consider giving a hand on the day, to help the event run smoothly and experience the joy of helping those taking part. Contact our esteemed leader Phil for further information. No obligation. [Phil enjoys taking part in lots of events himself, so a reply may be delayed at times.]

Extended entry window closing soon

Whilst we're delighted to have hit our 150 entry target, every event has entrants that on the day are, 'no-shows'. Whether due to a family event, injury, or even weather related. Entries are therefore still being accepted in order to cover those who don't turn up on the day. This extended entry window will close soon.
