CROWN IN GLORY CHALLENGE IS BACK FOR ANOTHER YEAR

April 18th 2019

A pub in Hemingbrough is to host an unusual fundraiser in support of Selby Hands of Hope.

​

The ‘Crown Inn Glory IV’ challenge will see participants run or walk five laps of a one-mile route with the interesting twist of consuming a drink and a snack at the Crown Inn pub between each lap.

​

After lap one there will be Guinness and a sausage roll, after lap two will be bitter and a pork pie, lap three break will be a lager and a Cornish pasty and the lap for drink and snack will be cider and an apple pie.

​

There will be non-alcoholic drink options and the event is open to both adults and juniors.

​

The route will be revealed on the day and this is the fourth time the pub has run the event, choosing a different charity to support each year.

​

Marc Collins, from Hemingbrough and the event organiser said: “We like to choose local charities each time, and as Hands of Hope are just up the road and have helped a lot of projects in the area, they seemed a great choice for this year’s event.”

​

Marc added: “It’s not just about taking part either – it’s a very entertaining spectacle to come and watch. There’s usually a decent gathering of people who come along to the pub to witness the whole debacle unfold! And people stick around afterward, it’s always a really good atmosphere on the day.”

The event will take place on Sunday, May 26 at 12 noon.

​

Registration for the event will cost £20 for those drinking pints, £15 for half pints and £5 for under-18s and those drinking soft drinks.

Entry forms for the event are available from the Crown Inn, Hemingbrough.
