3km family runs are being held in Daventry, Northampton and Towcester and are perfect for the whole family.
The Towcester event is particularly unusual as after the 3K run, entrants can choose to grab their bikes and do a 6K cycle! And if all that wasn’t enough, street entertainers, jugglers and clowns will be adding to the fun and making this a great family event.
Run for the Children raises money for The Children's Trust, an excellent charity which cares for children with multiple disabilities, so whether participants are running with their families, their friends, or their local Girlguiding pack, this is a fun run that really changes people's lives for the better.
"We think our runs are making a big difference to the health of the country," says Annabel Anderson, national organiser. “Kids life spans are now predicted to be shorter than the previous generation. Our research shows that since Run for the Children started in 2003, 85% of participants have felt encouraged to lead a healthier lifestyle. This is great news for kids".
To keep the motivation levels high, all those taking part receive regular newsletters and a Fit for Fun Action Pack explaining which foods are good to eat, how to warm-up and giving tips on how to run well, and every participant earns a medal! Sign up at http://www.runforthechildren.co.uk
