More than half the spots in this year’s Grand East Anglia Run or GEAR 10K in King’s Lynn have been snapped up.
Thousands of people are expected to run along the streets of the town on Sunday May 1 to raise money for charity.
It is open to younger runners too with the Mini Gear, a 1.9km fun run for children aged 6+, with free entry available for up to 150 pupils of local schools and a £1000 cash pot available for the three schools who have the largest number of their students taking part.
There is also a 10K Corporate Challenge for groups of colleagues too.
Tristan Batley-Kyle, one of the organisers, said: “We are absolutely delighted with the response to this year’s GEAR 10K and can’t wait to see the thousands of fundraisers, fun-runners and club runners joining us in King’s Lynn on Sunday 1st May.
“Well done to all those runners who have already secured their place, and all those interested in being a part of this fantastic day should look to secure their spot now.”
Organiser, Run For All, is part of the lasting legacy of the late Jane Tomlinson CBE who raised almost £2m for charity through a series of endurance challenges, despite being diagnosed with incurable cancer.
