All proceeds from the event will directly contribute to development of the school sports facilities. This 5k run is suitable for all fitness levels, whether you're a seasoned runner or just want to bring your family including your dog for a stroll.

“The day isn’t just about running, it's about strengthening our school community and giving you the opportunity to meet fellow parents, teachers and students”, a school spokesperson said.

Top finishers will have a chance to win cash prizes and vouchers, a range of spot prizes will also be awarded on the day.

There will be post-race refreshments in the school gym. The school are looking for volunteers to act as Marshals on the 5 K run route.
