A north-east cancer support charity is appealing to runners to consider tackling some of the region’s most popular runs on its behalf.
CLAN Cancer Support has spaces available for this year’s Baker Hughes 10K, which will take place on Sunday May 14. The charity is also signing up participants for Run Balmoral on Saturday April 22 and Sunday April 23 and the inaugural Great Aberdeen Run on Sunday August 27.
Last year, runners came to the fore to raise money for CLAN and the charity is looking forward to being well represented at events throughout 2017.
Alastair Brookes, CLAN’s Head of Fundraising, said:
“These races are among the most popular in the north-east running calendar and we are thrilled to have places on offer for them.
“This year we will also see the first Great Aberdeen Run which is sure to be a fantastic spectacle which we are all very much looking forward to. We have spaces available for both the 10K and the half marathon for those who would like to be part of the inaugural event.
“We would appreciate the support of any member of the public who is considering taking part in either, or even all, of the events.
“The backing the charity has had from runners in the north-east has been incredible in previous years and we’re really looking to keep this momentum up this year. I’d encourage anyone interested in taking part in any of the races on behalf of CLAN to get in touch and find out more.”
