Rovers’ walking boost

Walking pace: Volunteers at the Keepmoat stadium training with Doncaster Rovers coaches.

Published on Saturday 28 January 2012 09:06

DONCASTER Rovers have teamed up with the council to help this year’s Get Walking Festival into step.

The club helped to train 14 walk leader volunteers as part of Natural England’s Walking for Health scheme, giving all participants the chance to earn a qualification and become members of organised walks taking place throughout the borough.

Each participant learned the correct way to organise and stage a safe health walk, as well as being given the opportunity to take part in Doncaster Rovers’ own walking event, as qualified walk leaders.
