Bridgnorth Lions
The vast majority of our work is centred on the Bridgnorth community.
If you ask any of our members, they'd say that having fun while helping their local community is what it's all about – from helping individuals with problems/needs to organizing the annual prostate cancer testing (PSA) event or the renowned Bridgnorth Walk.
All the charitable work we undertake has to be paid for and Bridgnorth members raise money throughout the year. Bonding the club together is a very active social calendar, which is enjoyed by all members and partners.
Bridgnorth Lions Walk & Marathon
The Bridgnorth Walk was established in 1967 as a way of raising money for local, national and international charities. In 2017 Bridgnorth Lions took over as organisers.
The event regularly raises over £100,000 for good causes and attracts both competitive and weekend walkers who enjoy a wonderful community atmosphere.
In 2019 Bridgnorth Lions announced a major expansion to the Walk weekend by adding a Marathon for runners.
The challenging but rewarding route takes in some of the most beautiful Shropshire countryside, including a visit to the top of the 1770 foot high Brown Clee.
For those less competitive, the short Junior and Family Walks offer an alternative.
Starting in Cleobury North, just outside Bridgnorth, the Family and Junior Walks are two separate, shorter events, that share some of the same route.
The Junior 7-mile route visits the very top of the Brown Clee, accompanied by Cycle Outriders. With a water station every mile, this is a safe but strenuous event, for those aged 9 – 14.
The all-age Family Walk takes you though some of the most stunning Shropshire countryside. This relaxing 5 mile on-road route draws you along picturesque country lanes. And without the strenuous Brown Clee section, it’s more of an opportunity to stretch your legs, rather than anything more challenging.
