We're running to the Turf

Last updated : 09 November 2005 By Tony Scholes

It all gets underway at 11:00 a.m. when the runners set off from Harry Potts Way, hopefully returning there some time later and in good time for the game in the afternoon. The run will see them take in part of the Towneley parkland, including the uphill slog up Deerpark Road, and they will return to the Turf via Belvedere Road.

The route is marked in claret

It’s not too late to get involved, and if you want to help out the Trust and do a bit of Saturday morning running then you are more than welcome to join the lads who have already pledged to run the course. It’s not a race, just a fun run, so you can walk round if you wish or even ride round on your bike.

There is a charge of £25 for all runners but the fee is waived for anyone who brings in £25 or more in sponsorship – click HERE to download the sponsorship form.

You may wish to help as a marshall on the day, helping to direct the runners as well as handing them drinks, yes we are even providing them with water, and if you do or if you wish to run then please EMAIL us to let us know.

A well done from Clarets Mad to those of you who have already agreed to run, offered to help and indeed have sponsored the event and/or one or more of the runners.
