Walker Press Release for our Virtual SunWalk Festival!

Have you signed up for the Virtual SunWalk Festival? Would you like to inspire others to join you? Then read on!

We’ve created a Walker Press Release, just for you, so that you can contact your local paper and help us spread the word.

Maybe you signed up for the 5k or 10K as a family, maybe with some very young team members, taking on a walking challenge for the first time? Will you be doing the Half Marathon (13.1 miles) in support of a special person diagnosed with breast cancer? Or have you signed up for the 100k, the challenge with that extra bite?

Featuring your story in your local press will raise awareness of breast cancer in men and women and hopefully encourage others to join you at the Virtual SunWalk Festival!

Getting in touch with local media is really straightforward and we know from experience that they love a local story!

Just follow these simple steps...

• First of all, look up who to contact at your local newspaper and if possible find a phone number
• It’s a great idea to call the paper first, as you may be able to get a name and direct email address, but don’t worry if you aren’t able to do this
• Then download the press release for the Virtual SunWalk Festival here, fill in your details and send!
• Sending a photo of you wearing a bra t-shirt, if you have one, would really help too.
• Once the press release has been sent, another little tip is to make a follow up call!

Lisa and Jen on Walk the Walk’s PR team are very excited about seeing our walkers appearing in local media! They are able to help with any questions, just email [email protected] and let them know how you’re getting on!

Sign up now for the Virtual SunWalk Festival between 31^st July and 8^th August. There’s a challenge for all ages and abilities – 5k, 10k and a Half Marathon (13.1 miles), all to be completed in one pop, or 100k, which can be spread over the week.
