Sue Ryder Starlight Hike Leeds, kindly sponsored by Amy Matthews Limited Property Management, with marshal points also sponsored by Skipton Building Society and Newstead & Walker Solicitors, returns on the evening of Saturday 18 October 2025. Friends and families are invited to come together and walk either a 5k or 10k route through the charming cobbled streets of Otley, all in memory of someone special. The evening begins at Prince Henry’s Grammar School, where registration opens at 5.30pm and the atmosphere builds with live entertainment. At 7pm, walkers will set off beneath the stars, crossing the River Wharfe and winding through the town in the shadow of the iconic Chevin. Along the way, participants can pause at a dedication area to reflect and remember loved ones, joining hundreds of others to celebrate the lives of those we love and miss.
