OVER 800 entries have been received so far for Manorlands' Keighley BigK 10k.

And organisers are hoping for a final total around 1,200, on a par with previous years.

The run and walk takes place on Mother's Day, March 6.

"I know of about 200 entries still to come in but we would love to get up to our record levels," said Manorlands-based Sue Ryder fundraiser and event lead, Andrew Wood.

"It is a great event and raises money to help the hospice provide its vital care."

Last year's extravaganza coined-in more than £40,000.

The event starts and finishes at Victoria Park and takes in a multi-terrain route around Keighley.

This year the course is diverted through the yard of Nelsons builders merchants and the TruGym car park and there will be an extra lap of the park at the beginning.

Goody bags will be presented to all finishers and various awards will be up for grabs.

Participants should arrive by 8.20am to register and collect their timing chip. The event starts at 9am.
