A MARATHON-LENGTH walk for a county charity is being planned for September.

The Walk With Scott Foundation (WWSF) had wanted to host an Infinity Walk spanning two days over the first weekend in May.

However, that has been temporarily postponed, with plans for the walk to take place in May next year instead.

A spokeswoman for the Tranent-based charity said: “Given the ongoing Covid-19 challenges, the WWSF board has regrettably concluded that these dates [May 2021] are now unrealistic.

“However, instead of the May dates, we have decided to delay the walk to Saturday, September 18, 2021 (the September weekend), where we plan to arrange a one-day marathon-length walk across East Lothian.

“The details are still being worked through and will be released in due course.”

Walk With Scott was started by Tranent fundraiser Scott Glynn to mark his 50th birthday in May 2013.

Scott passed away on New Year’s Day last year.

Since its inception in 2013, the event has raised more than £300,000 for local charities and good causes.
