In partnership with
Penkridge Round Table
In an exciting turn of events, the Penkridge Runners, a local running club, are set to take the lead in community fitness and camaraderie by hosting the traditional Penkridge Family Fun Run. This year, however, they are adding a brand-new dimension to the event by introducing a 10K run, complete with chip timing, dedicated marshals along the route, and a medal for every participant crossing the finish line.
The Penkridge Family Fun Run has been a long-standing tradition, bringing the community together for a day of active enjoyment and family bonding.
The family run will continue to cater to runners of varying abilities, ensuring that everyone, from seasoned athletes to beginners and families with young children, can partake in the joy of running. The route will take participants from the Penkridge Middle School grounds out and about the streets of Penkridge itself, with marshals helping and encouraging them along the set course.
Participants in the Penkridge Runners' 10K run will receive a finisher's medal, symbolising their commitment and effort. This tangible token serves as a lasting memory of the day's accomplishments, marking the completion of the run.
10K Runners will also receive a 'Goodie bag' containing various items, kindly donated by our sponsors listed below.
Venue: Penkridge Middle School, Marsh Lane, Penkridge, Staffordshire ST19 5BW
