RUNNERS are being urged to support York’s St Leonard’s Hospice and pull on their trainers for two events this year - the York 10k and the Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon.
The charity has guaranteed places available for anyone that is able to run, jog or walk around the courses as part of the Hospice team.
This year, the York 10k is on August 6 and the Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon is on October 8.
Sarah Atkinson, community fundraiser at St Leonard’s Hospice, said: “We’d love to hear from people interested in running for Team St Leonard’s.
“Whether you’re already an experienced runner or a beginner.”
Phone Sarah Atkinson on 01904 777 777 to register your interest.
