Joggers urged to sign up for Barnack Fun Run in Peterborough
Event takes place on October 5
A popular fun run will raise vital funds for a Peterborough school.
The annual Barnack Fun Run takes place on Saturday, October 5, and will raise money for the Barnack CofE Primary School.
Along with the 2.5k fun, there will also be a Schools’ Challenge and schools in Peterborough, Stamford and surrounding areas are being invited to enter their teams. Last year eight schools competed.
The popular event has always been one of the highlights of the Barnack village calendar and organisers are appealing for volunteers to help marshal the course.
Organiser Emma Thorp, said: “We are hoping to attract lots of runners, walkers and fancy dress fundraisers to this year’s fun run which is always the highlight of our school fundraising calendar.
“The fun run is always a real community event and it’s a great opportunity to bring people together to showcase our wonderful village.
"In the past up to 50 local people have kindly volunteered to marshal the course and we hope lots of them will return this year to support us. The fun run has been going for about 20 years now and continues to prove what a wonderful community we are part of. “
