THE community have an opportunity to see what it’s like to be a part of the Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA) as a challenge takes place in the Wye Valley.

The Great SARA Fitness Test Challenge is returning where residents can take on the same route SARA land crews have to complete as part of their annual fitness test.

The fitness challenge is on Sunday November 1 at 9.30am and is taking place at Mallards Pike in the Forest of Dean. Members of the community can either walk it, run it, or take their time and enjoy the views which Mallards Pike has to offer.

For a further challenge SARA is challenging the public to take on the route carrying the same weight as their team members do for the fitness test and for those who are even more competitive there is a course record to beat.

This event is suitable for everyone as people decide how they are going to approach the challenge.
