Step into Christmas with Chelmsford's Yuletide Stride

04/11/2023 About 1 minute Share article:
Yuletide Stride is back on Thursday 7th December 2023! The Yuletide Stride takes you through an evening stroll around Chelmsford city centre to take in the Christmas lights. The walk is a 5 kilometre walk.

This year the low impact walk will raise money for the Mayor of Chelmsford's chosen charity, YMCA Essex. It is hosted by Anglia Ruskin University and the council's Community Sport and Wellbeing team.

The Yuletide Stride is well managed - there is a walk leader and volunteers to keep you in the group. You can enjoy the stride at your own pace.

Those wishing to join the Yuletide Stride event are invited to meet at 6.30pm on Thursday 7th December in front of the Lord Ashcroft Building at Anglia Ruskin University.

A briefing will start at 6.55pm. The walk will then commence promptly at 7pm.
