Night Strider Virtual Challenge is back and registration is now open!

‘Get your glow on’ this October for Sheffield’s biggest and brightest walking challenge.

Take part in our biggest and most popular fundraising challenge of the year! Throughout the month of October, we want you to make Night Strider your own, do your distance, time and location your way in memory of someone important to you. Who are you walking for?

Choose your route and take in some of the city’s finest views, knowing that every step you take helps us to continue supporting local people who need us.

Complete your miles how you want while remembering your loves ones, boosting your mental health, and helping support St Luke’s patients and their families.
