CARING businesses have lent their support to the Crowle charity 10k road race and family fun runs with cash donations, prizes and materials.
Sponsors include Worcestershire estate agents and property consultants, Fisher German, Boughton Fuel Oils and Select Physio and Exclusive Gym.
The Chequers at Crowle, is donating meal tokens for the fastest Bowbrook Parish male and female runners and local firms have donated cones to mark the 10k route and have also provided a van for the weekend.
Event organiser Caroline Brookes, said: “Every penny we raise from business sponsorship or entries means more money to boost local charitable causes and also improving sporting and social offerings for local parishioners.
“With the fantastic generosity of so many local companies and business people we look set for another very successful fund-raising effort on May 7,” she added.
The fun runs, which will take place before the 10k, at 10.30am, will be over two distances – a quarter mile for young children and their adult helpers; and a more serious, timed, one-mile race for under 16s – both on a circuit around the village playing field.
Some 100 top club runners from across the country take part in the 10k road race and a big crowd of spectators is once again expected to watch them, soaking up the atmosphere and taking advantage of the barbecue, stalls for cakes, hot and cold drinks, children’s bouncy castle and playground.
Online entry is available for the 10k race at www.crowle-online.co.uk or an entry form can be downloaded and sent by post.
Registration will be from 9.30am on Sunday (May 7) for on-the-day entries and for pre-entered 10k runners to collect their race numbers.
