Take part in the Gerald Story Memorial Fun Run next year in Worksop

It takes place on Monday, January 2, 2023, at 10am and is organised by Worksop Harriers and the Worksop Cancer Research UK Committee.

At about five miles long, this family friendly run or walk starts at Worksop College and is open to everyone.

Runners must be aged over 14. Children under 14 may take part in the walk, but must be accompanied by an adult.

The course consists of a fully marshalled circular route, comprising undulating trails with small sections of tarmac.

All money raised from the event will go to the Worksop Cancer Research UK Committee, in memory of Gerald Story.

Gerald was the president of Cancer Research UK in Worksop and a founder member of the committee.

His keen interest in running also led to him being the founder member of Worksop Harriers & AC.

Worksop Harriers & AC, which was founded in 1949, is an athletics club catering for novices and experienced athletes alike.

It offers a range of training sessions to cater for all requirements, including long runs, short runs, speed work, hill work, track and field sessions, fartlek and cross country.

There are only 300 places available for the event – entry costs £8 for adults and £4 for children.

Dogs are welcome on a lead and fancy dress is optional.
