The 10th Annual Lurgan Park Fun Run for Southern Area Hospice will take place on Sunday, March 3.
The event, which was first established in 2014, has raised over £67,000 for the Hospice and attracts over 700 participants to take part in both 5k and 10k distances.
All costs and supplies are covered by sponsors, which means 100% of runner donations goes to the hospice.
This year’s entry fee is £20 for adults and £10 for under 16s (plus online booking fee). Each participant will receive a running number, bespoke medal, gift and goody bag.
Sponsor cards are also available from the Hospice by calling Bernie on 02830267711 or email, murphyb2@southernareahospiceservices.org
Tony Mckeown, Joint Organiser, commented: “We are grateful that McKeever Sports are supporting us once again. They have been involved since 2014 and have shown great commitment. To put an event on like this it is very much a team effort. We have been working with Deirdre Breen and Hospice Volunteers again to make sure the run is a success.”
Padraic McKeever, from McKeever Sports, said: “We are delighted to be once again sponsoring the Lurgan Park Fun Run. It is a pleasure to get involved in a great cause, and we look forward to the event every year.”
Southern Area Hospice provides their service across the entire Southern Health Board area, including Lurgan, Newry & Mourne, Craigavon, Banbridge, Portadown, Armagh and Dungannon. With an annual fundraising target of over £3.6 million, every donation really does count.
The Charity Fun Run, which starts at 11am, always gets great support from experienced runners, beginners and walkers. Local businesses and sports teams also take part.
