RUNMIDDLEWICH is preparing for their annual 5k race and family fun run, taking place on Sunday, May 12.

The main event starts at The Big Lock, taking runners along the scenic Trent and Mersey Canal and finishing at Middlewich Cricket club where there will be stalls and entertainment.

There are exciting prizes to be won in both the 5k and the fun run. Fun run prizes include 4 footgolf vouchers and four mini golf vouchers for games at Woodside Golf Club.

Darren Roberts, chairman of RunMiddlewich said: “We’re thrilled to be organising our second 5k. Last years was such a success for the community and we’re hoping to do even better this year.

“It was great to see such a big turnout last year, people supporting the runners and enjoying the day despite the rain, we’ve booked the sunshine for this year so fingers crossed.

“We’re lucky to have such a great team working on this year’s event, none of it would be possible without our amazing sponsors so a big thank you to them.”

As well as the two main events, there will be entertainment at Middlewich Cricket Club with stalls and featuring sports nutrition, face Painting, massage therapy, a bouncy castle and BBQ food.

Entries are still open for both events
