The route

The Walk Committee would like to acknowledge with gratitude, the immense support that our event Sponsor, Saffery Guernsey, has shown us over the past week.

Not only have they been there as a sounding board, but they have assured us that they will stand by us and meet any cancellation costs incurred, which are not insubstantial. This is crucial to us financially and reflects what a strong partnership they offer, in working with us for the benefit of the Bailiwick's hard-pressed charities. ... See MoreSee Less

Bigger and better next year 👍🏻stay safe

We would like to give our heartfelt thanks to all the walkers who have very generously asked for their 2020 Walk entry fee to be added to our Charity Trust monies.

This has happily been the majority response by a large margin and really does reflect the true sense of community that is shared by everyone involved in the Saffery Rotary Walk.

On behalf of all the swimmers and volunteers of the Guernsey Marlins, I would like to say a BIG thank you x

Thank you 🙏

It is with great sadness and disappointment that we announce the cancellation of the 2020 Saffery Rotary Walk.

The decision has not been made lightly and is in response to the public health advice and ongoing uncertainty around when the current situation will resolve. It also reflects the seriousness of this unprecedented situation and the importance we are placing on the safety volunteers, Walkers, and the community.

All registered Walkers and the benefitting charities have been contacted directly to update them of the news and to provide information around registration fees and any funds already raised.

A list of charities that would have received funds from the Walk is available on our website and we would urge islanders to support them where they can.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our volunteers who have already committed so much time and energy in the preparations for the Walk.

Be assured, we intend it to be 'business as usual' next year in what will be named the ‘20/21 Saffery Rotary Walk’ and what will be a celebration of the Walk's amazing history.

In light of the recent situation, the Saffery Rotary Walk is currently under review. A definitive decision on whether the walk will go ahead, be postponed or be cancelled due to the Coronavirus will be made before the end of April. This will be based upon the advice available at the time.

We would obviously be devastated to have to cancel and we understand that uncertainty is never desirable, but we owe it to all our loyal and enthusiastic walkers and the charities concerned to make an informed judgement. We can assure walkers that the Walk will only take place if we are satisfied that every step can be taken safely and that the wellbeing of the walkers and volunteers is always our primary priority.
