ONE of the Victorians' favourite leisure activities is to be brought back as part of a celebration of Saltburn's heritage.
A competitive walking event during the town's Victorian Week last year proved so popular that it is being held again this year. Competitive walking was a favourite in Victorian times and prizes will be on offer to people who come in the best period attire.
There will be two races - one for novices and one for experienced competitors. They will leave the Marine Hotel on Marine Parade at 1pm on Sunday, August 19.
The event has been organised by the Yorkshire Race Walking Club with the support of Saltburn, Marske and New Marske Parish Council.
