ACOMB fun run takes place for the second time this weekend, and people are being urged to book their free places.

After a successful first year the event is returning to Carr Infants and Junior School tomorrow, Sunday, May 27 from 9am to 12pm.

There will be a 2km junior individual run around the perimeter of the enclosed school fields for 4-14 year olds, and a 1km fun run around the perimeter of the enclosed school fields for everyone including parents, grandparents and family members of all ages.

The council's Cllr Nigel Ayre encouraged everyone to get involved.

“This fun run is something for all the family to enjoy. This promises to be a great event hoping to inspire people to be active in a fun and family friendly environment," he said.

Both events are free but should be booked in advance via acombfunrun2018.eventbrite.co.uk.

Finishers on the junior run will all get medals, and there will be certificates for for everyone who finishes the other run.

There will also be an activity village with a climbing wall and information stalls, including HealthWatch and York City FC foundation.
