What a night!
The moment we had all been waiting for finally arrived when the clock struck midnight on Saturday 4 June! 1,500 ladies came along dressed in their Midnight Walk t-shirts, flashing bunny ears, and even some in fabulous fancy dress, to do the big walk around Colchester.
The atmosphere on the night was amazing and the fun spirit amongst all the walkers was helped by all the stewards and volunteers who came along to give lots of encouragement and cheer along the route.
The Midnight Walk started and finished at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, the home of Colchester United, and walkers followed a circular route of 12km (7.5 miles). The route went along Severalls Lane, down Ipswich Road, along Cowdray Avenue past North Station and up Mill Road back towards the Weston Homes Community Stadium where each walker then crossed the finish line and collected their well deserved medal and doughnut!
An incredible £125,000 was pledged in sponsorship on the night and every penny of this will go to the Hospice to support the work it does. We would really like to say a big thank you to everyone for helping raise this amazing amount of money.
A special thank you to our event supporters: Colchester United, the Gazette, Red Tiger, Balfour Beatty, Water Direct, Adams Publishing Ltd, Eat Natural, Total Car Parks, Capel Plant and Anglia Crown, as without them we would not have been able to put together such an incredible night for all our wonderful participants.
We will be posting photos from the night on this site over the next few days. You will also have the option of purchasing photos which were taken by our official photographers, so remember to keep checking this website for updates.
Thank you to everyone for making it such a fantastic night, we look forward to seeing you all again next year!
