A local charity will be benefiting from the generosity of a 10k trail race this summer.
The Hamsterley Forest 10k trail race, on 6th July, has the capacity to host 500 participants, and is a popular location for runners.
Race Director Julie Nisbet says “As a runner myself I’m always looking for good, challenging local races. This is a great route, and I think our 500 limit will fill up quickly. I also wanted to support a charity that I’m passionate about, and having been a volunteer for Auckland Hospital Radio for 14 years, I wanted to try and help them financially too.”
Craig Robinson, Chairman of Auckland Hospital Radio said, “I am delighted that the organisers of Hamsterley 10k have chosen to support our charity. We are always actively involved in local community events, and are happy that we will be there on the day supporting the runners.”
Hamsterley Forest 10k trail race takes place on 6th July. Entry is £13.50 for affiliated runners and £15.50 for unaffiliated runners. To sign up go to www.hamsterley10k.co.uk or contact Julie on 07921 330796. There is a 500 runner limit, so entries are accepted on a first come, first served basis. Finishers will also receive a goody bag and t-shirt.
