Runners in Bradford are being sought to represent Yorkshire and the British Red Cross in this year’s BMW Berlin Marathon.

The charity has a handful of places left and hopes for more people from the county to fill their ranks.

The event takes place on September 29 and is one of the top four marathons in the world.

It costs £100 to register and participants are asked to raise £1,000 or more through sponsorship and fundraising events. For more information, call Max Newton on (0114) 2427379 or e-mail mnewton@redcross.org.uk.
