With many more people taking up running to help their physical and mental wellbeing, it’s a great opportunity to give something back to a local event that’s having such a positive impact on the community. Last year’s events were a huge success and to be able to continue our support, working with our co-sponsors 5Plus and BDP, is superb to see.”
As well as providing the chance for competitive runners to return to timed racing, this summer series also provides the opportunity for those new to running to take part in an established and inclusive event. With two events completed, the next races will be taking place at 7:30pm on 28th July and 11th August.

This is unprecedented for events like ours and something we hope other race organisers will follow.”
