Ride and Stride 2018
The next Sponsored Ride+Stride takes place on Saturday 8th September 2018.
People of any age can take part as you can choose your own route, according to how many churches you wish to visit on the day. Most of the churches in the County will be open from 10.00 – 18.00 and if riding or striding is not your thing why not use the same sponsor forms to have a sponsored “Pray and Stay” while welcoming the riders and striders to your church?
Please take part in Ride+Stride so that the Trust can continue to make grants to churches in Northamptonshire
and thereby help
preserve the rich
heritage we hold in trust
for future generations.
