Hopefully the Olympics and some of our home grown talent are inspiring you all! If so register for the Stockport Urban 5k running race.

A timed 5k course on fully closed roads, starting and finishing at the Enduro & Cycling Festival Event Village of St Peters Square in Stockport. The course will take in the sights of the Old Town and Market Hall before heading out along Fred Perry Way towards  Vernon Park then back, taking in the epic hill up New Zealand Road.

All participants will receive a medal and goody bag on completion and water will be available on the route.

This run is being held in memory of two Stockport Council employees who passed away last year. Dave's family have nominated British Heart Foundation as a Charity that he supported.

It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help. Thanks!
