There is just 17 days to go until starters orders at the Bluewater 10k run and it’s said that runners should sign up quick to get a place in the annual event. Just by signing up you’ll be adding £1 to the charity pot that will be divided between DGS Mencap, Demelza Children’s Hospice Services and The Aspinall Foundation.

Last year the run attracted around 2,000 runners with more than 2,500 spectators lining the route. This year organisers are hoping for more than 4,000 runners to take part. If you are younger than 15 or feel that 10 kilometres could be a few steps too far, and then you can join in the Kent Messenger sponsored Messenger 2k Challenge Run, open to all ages. The race starts and finishes at the Bluewater Shopping Centre.

At the end of the race all the runners will be awarded with a medal, goodie bag and an Adidas running T-shirt and the winning male and winning female from the 10k races will each win £750 including £250 in SheRunsHeRuns vouchers.
