Registration open for popular Telford 5K fun run next month
Registration is open for this year’s popular Lawley 5K Fun Run, which is returning on Saturday, 7 September in the village centre, starting at 1pm.
Lawley 5K fun run is organised by Lawley Running Club and Lawley Partnership Board, which includes Telford & Wrekin Council, Lawley & Overdale Parish Council and Bournville Village Trust, the fun run welcomes all ages and all abilities.
Rich Handley, Lawley Running Club Group Leader said: “It’s the date in the diary everyone looks forward to and is a real family event. We have children running with members of their family or community groups taking it at a pace to suit them. We also run a fancy dress competition, so it’s a great sight for spectators to.”
It costs £6 to register and each year a local charity is supported and this year it’s Parents Opening Doors (PODS), a grassroots parent/carer led charity providing vital support to families who have a child with a disability, or additional needs aged from 0-25 years. Festival goers will be able to donate to the charity on the day is they wish.
Ben Harper, who has previously entered the Lawley 5K run said: “As a family we love taking part in Lawley fun run, it's a brilliant event. Really friendly, loads of support and a brilliant route. We are running it as a family again 2024 and can't wait.”
