Biggest turnout for Star Trekk

HUNDREDS of walkers headed through the streets of Southport for the annual Star Trekk on Friday night, with the biggest turnout of all time.

More than 1,200 walkers took part in the 10k sponsored night walk to raise vital funds for Queenscourt Hospice.

Since Star Trekk began 19 years ago Queenscourt's wonderful trekkers have raised over £1 million.

The walk is a healthy, energising and fun event open to everyone, you can take part on your own, with family and friends, with your exercise class, with your work colleagues, with your school, many people walked with their dogs and one took part in a dinosaur costume!

Many trekkers walk in memory of a loved one or because Queenscourt has supported them personally, while others take part for a fun night out and to raise money for their local hospice.
