Sign up for Thrussington Fun Run
A community news update from your area
Thrussington Fun Run race is back with many runners thrilled at the prospect of negotiating the course’s undulating terrain, stream crossings and hay bales again on Saturday, March 2, from 2pm. In previous years the race has seen in excess of 400 runners of all ages and abilities competing.
Established in 2006, the race is known, not only for its great course, but also the fantastic atmosphere, bringing the whole community together. Held over five races, it gives an opportunity for those as young as two years, (accompanied by an adult), to those in their twilight years to compete.
For the more seasoned runner, and those representing running clubs across Leicestershire and beyond, the course will be competitive, testing and very challenging. Younger entrants will complete one lap of the three-quarter mile course, secondary school students and adults complete two laps.
Trophies are up for grabs in all races, including for School Team, Family Team, Veteran and Running Club. There are medals for all finishers and post-race treats and a welcome brew, pasties and cake can be enjoyed at the village hall.
In previous years, sponsorship has contributed greatly towards the cost of the event, resulting in £3,000 being raised for charity in 2022. This year, organisers are extremely grateful to sponsors Wreake Valley Craftsman, Manor Farm, Raylec Limited, SJB Construction, and Quality Discounts Stores, as well as Mr and Mrs Rudkin for the use of the field.
If you know of a company who’d like to sponsor the fun run, please contact the race secretary via the fun run website: www.thrussingtonptfa.co.uk This year the event hopes to raise money for two worthy causes: Thrussington Church Save the Tower fund and Thrussington Parents, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA).
So what are you waiting for? Early bird offer £6 per person, or £8 per person after Wednesday, February 14. Entries close at noon on Thursday, February 29. For more information and to enter online visit: www.thrussingtonptfa.co.uk
