Gordon Primary is going to join in with the Slow Marathon, organised by Deveron Arts.

Ethiopian artist Mihret Kebede would like to have walked 5850 from her home town of Addis Ababa to Huntly.  This is not possible for her alone, so she is asking the people of Huntly to help her achieve this goal.

On 17th March there will be a Slow Marathon around Huntly, where walkers will walk around the hills of Huntly (the Battlehill, the Clashmach, the Ba’Hill and the Bin).

Pupils from Gordon Primary will be going on a walk in March (date to be confirmed) and sending details to Mihret so that she can add them to her total. If every pupil walked one mile, this could add almost 400miles to Mihret’s total!
