BIGK 10K
It’s the New Year and time to start those preparations for the 2nd Keighley BIGK 10K which is due to be held on Mother’s Day, Sunday 22nd March 2009!
Organisers of the BIGK run hope the 2009 event will exceed the field of over 300 starters who completed the challenge at the inaugural 2008 event, which also raised over £10,000 for Sue Ryder Care at Manorlands by following a unique multi-terrain route linking all four major parks in Keighley.
Entries can be made by phone by contacting the Fundraising Team at Manorlands on 01535 640430 or via email at Andrew.wood@suerydercare.org. Details of opportunities for sponsorship and fundraising by tackling the BIGK 10K are also available. Entry forms and event posters are now available on the sport Keighley Website.
For those wishing to train up for the BIG event, don’t forget the Keighley & Craven AC “Begin Running” sessions for ladies of all ages and standards at 6.30pm on Thursdays from Greenhead Athletics Centre (www.kcac.co.uk, contact Wendy Holder on 07779 696511 or Richard Taylor on 07982 730196).
