WHETHER you take your running seriously or not, Sunday's 16th Annual Fun Run and Road Race in Ilkley is sure to provide ample incentive to get those knees up!
The two races sponsored by Dale Eddisons Estate Agents, and organised by Ilkley and District Round Table, are expected to draw around 700 people and will also be accompanied by a car boot sale along with other family attractions.
Jonathan Shepherd, chairman of the Fun Run committee, said that whilst the 10km road race - to Askwith village and back - offered a serious 10,000 metre challenge for amateur athletics, the three-mile Fun Run to Middleton village and down Keely Hill was open to all for exercise and enjoyment.
Jonathan said, 'This is the 16th year that we have staged the event and it is always well supported. We also have the added attraction of the Fun Run Charity Challenge to local pubs to compete and raise a bit of money for charity. It's a really good family day out giving everybody the chance to get a bit of exercise.
