THE Whitley 10k road race is to take place on Sunday, May 3, starting at 11am.
A family-friendly event on rural roads in and around Whitley, near Warrington, the race will benefit from road closures throughout.
All age groups can take part in the 5k race but the 10k will be limited to 15 and over, due to UK Athletics rules.
The event has been moved back to avoid clashes with other local events and it is hoped it will be a magnet for people making that New Year resolution to get fitter and need something to aim for.
Last year’s event was close to a sell out and this year race co-ordinator Peter Clayton is confident of another big turnout.
He said: “We are already busy planning the day to make sure this is the success we anticipate. Entries are available via Eventbrite and Run Britain websites which we
hope makes the effort of entering much easier.
“Our prices remain the same – unchanged for four years.”
Main sponsors are Lakeland Trucks Ltd and Schmitz CARGOBULL and all money goes into supporting the upkeep of Whitley Village Hall and supporting local groups and activities.
