Still time to sign up for Strathcarron Hospice 10k

The popular event is for runners of all abilities and experience who all have the one aim of raising as much cash as possible for the hospice.

It had been taking place in the grounds of Stirling University and then for two years it was held virtually due to Covid restrictions, but last year it returned to the streets of Denny and Bonnybridge with enthusiastic crowds turning out to support all those taking part.

All 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 with the route even going close to the hospice before finishing back at the school.

A spokesperson for the hospice said: “On the day we will have prize money up for grabs - winners (male and female) and best fancy dress outfit, as well as LifeFit Wellness vouchers for the biggest fundraiser.

They added the event was “suitable for those tackling their first 10k or for the more serious athletes looking for a personal best” and gave a big thank you to sponsors Lightways Contractors Ltd , LifeFit Wellness and Class 1 Traffic Management Ltd.

Entrants must be at least 15 years, and for those aged 15-16 the Paul Canavan Memorial trophy will be awarded to the fastest male or female in the age group.
