Penkridge and District Round Table will again be hosting the 11th Annual Penkridge Community Fun Run and Fun Day.
The 2.5 mile run will start at 11.00 am at the Haling Dene Centre, Penkridge and will take a circular route around the village very similar to previous years. The Fun Run is open to ALL no matter if you are a serious runner, a fund raiser or even if you just fancy a stroll, the Fun Run is open to you. New this year is the offer of 250 free places to local children of school age. This has been made possible by the support of The Stafford and Surrounds Commissioning Group and funding from the Change 4 Life Government funding programme, an initiative to get children eating well, moving more and living longer. All places will be allocated on a 'first come first serve' Entry forms have been distributed to all local schools from the end of March 09 and will go on general release from 17th April 09. Completed forms with remittance (if appropriate) should be handed into Heather Stern Estate Agents, Market Street, Penkridge, or sent to Malcolm Newman, Race Co-ordinator, 2 Blount Close, Penkridge, Staffs, ST19 5JJ. Other improvements this year include new award categories for Under 9s and Under 13s to reflect First and Middle School age cohorts, and medals now for ALL finishing runners. The maximum number of places available this year is 500. As the Fun Run finishes, this will see the start of the Community Fun Day, with side stalls hosted by village clubs and organisations, an events arena with local talented performers, a bouncy castle, face painting, BBQ, licensed bar and much, much more. New this year is 107.7 Wolf FMs morning show host Richard 'Dicky' Dodd who will be providing musical entertainment and live outside broadcast throughout the day.
