...The Run 11 is here!
Organisers of The Run Northamptonshire are very pleased to officially declare entries for this year's event open today. Northamptonshire's high profile mass participation event, which is now in its third year, will take place on Sunday 2nd October, starting and finishing from Sixfields Stadium, home of the Cobblers.
With hopes of achieving well over 3000 participants this year, organisers are keen to stress the event is for everyone - experienced racers, keen runners, first time joggers and determined walkers / strollers. With the main 10km event on a closed road circular route around the town centre, complimented by a 5km route plus Children's Races, The Run '11 aims to fulfil everyone's running goals and provide a positive experience for all. Organisers are also proud to announce a new headline sponsor for the event, the Willmott Dixon Group.

Local builds include Corby East Midlands International Swimming Pool with Kettering Academies being the latest contract. Bob Athroll, Education Sector Manager at Willmott Dixon said "We are delighted to be involved in a local sporting event of this scale.
