There's still time to register for the Knowle Fun Run
Organisers of the Knowle Fun Run are looking for a last minute surge in entries and are concerned that runners will miss the vital deadline for online entry into this year’s event – Saturday, May 7.
The five mile fundraiser - with two laps on traffic free roads and two mini runs for the under nines - is one of the area’s best-known events.
While the run is not until May 13, Knowle and Dorridge Lions have to close entries early, sold out or not, to ensure they receive the runners timing chips and numbers in time. There is no entry on the day.
