Festival Trail Races back for a seventh year

THE ever-popular Lymm Festival Trail Races event is to take place  on Sunday June 30.
Now in its seventh year, the day will start at 10.30am with a one mile fancy dress fun run for children on Lymm High School playing fields.
The theme will again be “Superheroes”, with the children in pursuit of Billy Bikeman and a prize for the best dressed Superhero boy and girl.
This is followed by the 5k and 10k Trail Race for teens and adults through the beautiful Helsdale and Spud Wood with goody bags and medals for all who finish. In response to many requests from previous runners, veteran winner categories have been added. Prizes will be awarded to:
* 5k – junior male and female, senior male and female, V40 male and female, V50 male and female
* 10k – senior male and female, V40 male and female, V50 male and female
Two charities are being supported.
Race director Katy O’Connor said: “Running has a wonderful effect on health and wellbeing and this year, Lymm Festival Trail Races is proud to be supporting Mind, the mental health charity. Proceeds from the fun run will be donated to the Woodland Trust who manage Spud Wood, so every penny raised from this year’s event will go to good causes”.
Places are limited to 250 for each race and are filling up fast, so anyone who doesn’t want to miss out the fun, should go to https://lymmrunners.org.uk/lymm-festival-trail-races/ and click ENTER.
