Race organiser and local resident Michael Gadd said: “We are really pleased to be hosting this event for the third year, an event that is organised by an experienced, professional team from the local community who are passionate about sport and who want to raise money for new sporting facilities in the village as well as provide a vibrant community event.
“The accessible nature of the course, on generally flat ground through the beautiful country lanes surrounding the village has spectators at every step of the way, providing a lively buzz to spur everyone on, whether it’s your first attempt or if you are attempting a personal best.”
