Run for the Children
A series of 3 events are taking place across Northamptonshire which are raising money for children's charities in partnership with "Run for the Children."
Run for the Children is a national fitness initiative which aims to get children and their families running together and raising money for charity. Each Run for the Children event is organised by a partnership between local councils, schools and running clubs. All entrants are encouraged to raise sponsorship for the official charity, The Children's Trust.
The three kilometre runs are just one of the aspects of the initiative which also offers a Fit for Fun Action Pack written in conjunction with Runners World and full of tips on how to lead a healthier lifestyle.
Annabel Anderson, the National Organiser of Run for the Children said: "We are delighted to have been welcomed into Northants! I hope this involvement will encourage other counties to do something similar to develop the health of their youngsters."
