PEOPLE will be putting on their running shoes in Twyford next month.
The Twyford Together Charity 5k and Fun Run returns with races for all ages and distances.
Twyford Together chairman, Rob Yeadon says: “It’s the 10th anniversary of the Fun Run this year and it promises to be extra special.
“We have races for all ages and abilities, stalls, entertainment and some great prizes.
“New for this year, we’ll be crowning our Fastest Family’ (one adult and one or two children aged 11-18) as well as the Fastest Business/Club/Society, and Best Fancy Dress, in the 5k race.
“As this is our 10th anniversary, we’re really hoping some of our original runners will come back to join us.
“We’d love to see any of our 2012 toddlers (now teenagers) at the event, running with their parents or neighbours.
“And we look forward to welcoming new parents.
“It’s a great opportunity to get active for a good cause and it’s always special to see roles reversed, with the children cheering on their parents.
“You don’t have to be a seasoned runner to enjoy the Fun Run, it’s all about taking part.
“The Have A Go Hero prize celebrates just that.
“Last year, it went to the truly inspirational Clara who is a student at The Piggott School.
“She ran with her guide to raise money for Wolfram Syndrome.”
