There’s still time to sign up for this year’s Strathcarron Hospice10k which returns to the streets of the district at the weekend.

The event had been taking place in the grounds of Stirling University, then for the last two years it was held virtually due to Covid restrictions. But this Sunday, October 2 runners of all ages and abilities will once again be pounding the streets of Denny and Bonnybridge.

Al the money raised will go towards the daily running costs of running the hospice which has provided so much support to families across the area for the last four decades.

Runners will set off at 11am from Denny High School and hospice officials are encouraging spectators to come out and show their support.
