Tickets on sale for Shugborough 'super race' for charity
Tickets for Katharine House Hospice fun run are on sale at their first year at Shugborough Estate.
The route takes runners, donning trainers and fancy dress, 5k or 10k around the historic estate on October 7.
Ticket prices vary and an early bird rate on tickets applies until May 24.
Events fundraiser at Katharine House Hospice, Lisa Carson said: “This year it’s 25 years since we opened the doors to our Day Therapies centre. Local people were instrumental in getting the hospice started and they continue to be the reason we can keep it running. We can’t wait to see our superhero community out in force on October 7 to enjoy our Family Fun Runs which are suitable for all ages and abilities.
“This year we have some fabulous new fundraising packs for all our runners so please book as soon as you can and help us to raise even more than our £20,000 goal. It’s not about how fast you go, it’s all about having fun; there’s no prize for the fastest runner but there will be a prize for the number 1 fundraiser.”
Stafford Railway Building Society are sponsoring the event for the ninth year running so that more money raised from the event will go towards providing free care at the hospice which provides free care and support for adults and their families who are coping with progressive illness across mid-Staffordshire.
People can register now via the hospice’s website www.khhospice.org.uk/product/10k-and-5k-family-fun-run and every finisher will receive a medal and chip timing, provided by JC Race Solutions.
