Still time to sign up for Race For Men for this weekend

Tuesday, 21 May 2024 01:00

Race For Men Free Family Fun Day is back this weekend, and there's more on than ever.

On top of the usual 3k, 5k, 10k, and 21k routes, which are open to all ages, genders, running novices or marathon experts - this year, the fun day aspect is expanding.

This year, Wilton Wake Up will join the fun on Hudson's Field with their brilliant supercars, which everyone can enjoy.

Crazy Golf is in the mix this year, as well as the 5aside football tournament in the afternoon.

Food vans, a licensed bar, bouncy castles, face painting - and even Cholderton Rare Breeds Farm will be there with some of their furry friends.

Music will also start from 11 am:

11:00 Duncan Heather 12:00 Southamton Ukelele Jam 13:00 Sean Bless 14:00 Charley Stride 15:45 Sarum's Lot 16:45 Disco Dion

Money raised from the event will go directly to the Stars Appeal Prostate Cancer Fund.

Organiser Toby Giles said: "If it wasn't for our amazing hospital and the Prostate Cancer Fund, there are so many people who might not be here today. We want to do our bit to keep raising awareness for the cancer and hopefully save more lives in the process."
