There’s still time to sign up if you are ready to pull your trainers on?
The 10k race starts and finishes inside Blackburn Rovers Football Clubs grounds and runs around Blackburn town centre taking in all of the local landmarks.
Taking place on Sunday 12 December the race starts at 9.30am, with a kids race also on the same day.
Matt Wood, Director at RunThrough said:
“We are so thankful to Blackburn Rovers, Blackburn Rovers Community Trust and Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council along with all the local running clubs for their continued support of this event. RunThrough organises 200 events every year, all around the UK, at some of the UK’s most iconic tourist attractions. However as I am personally from Blackburn, a lifelong Blackburn Rovers fan, this event has that extra bit of meaning for me. Bringing the event to align with BRFC’s Christmas festivities is going to make the event extra special this year too!” –
Your entry will include – chip timed results, a unique themed medal, free official event photos, fruit, flapjacks, water and more goodies.
Blackburn with Darwen Council’s Executive Member for Wellbeing, Cllr Damian Talbot said:
