It’s the New Year and time to start those preparations for the 3rd Keighley BIGK 10K which is due to be held on Mother’s Day, Sunday 14th March 2010!
Organisers of the BIGK run hope the 2010 event will exceed the field of over 650 starters who completed the challenge at the 2009 event, which raised over £18,000 for Sue Ryder Care Manorlands Hospice by following a unique multi-terrain route linking all four major parks in Keighley.
New for 2010 is online entry for the event which can be done by logging onto www.bigk10k.org.uk and clicking on register. For those who don’t wish to enter on line please see the 2010 entry form below which can be downloaded, printed and sent to the fundraising office at Manorlands.
We are always looking for sponsors and people who can help promote the event or marshall it on the day. If you can help please contact the Fundraising Team at Manorlands on 01535 640430 or via email at Andrew.wood@suerydercare.org.
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).
