Treasurer of Rushcliffe Athletics Club David Sweet says: “We are delighted to bring the Rushcliffe 10km back to the Rushcliffe sporting calendar. It was always a really popular event in the past and regularly sold out, so we’re looking forward to welcoming runners of all ages and abilities back to Rushcliffe Country Park in March. Please do sign up early as we anticipate places will sell out quickly.”
Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Communities and Climate Change Cllr Abby Brennan adds: “We’re pleased that Rushcliffe Athletics Club are delivering this fantastic event which is making a triumphant return after four years due to COVID-19. This 10k running event has been a favourite race amongst Rushcliffe residents in the past and we anticipate this year’s event will be a popular event for all. It showcases the great sport we have in Rushcliffe with backdrop of one of our wonderful places in the Borough. It’s a great experience and if you’re looking for a new distance challenge, personal best or fun morning out with friend, I encourage you to enter!”
Race numbers will be collected on the day of the event from the registration area with further details to be announced soon.
