A FIVE kilometre Parkrun will launch at Fell Foot Park, Newby Bridge, on Saturday October 18.
Parkruns happen every Saturday at 9am in parks throughout the world. They are free to enter and open to all runners, of all ages and abilities. An adult must run with children under 11.
The South Lakeland event has been organised by local volunteers with the help of the National Trust. Nationally, they attract newcomers and top athletes, with some popular events regularly hosting hundreds of runners. To take part register online at www.parkrun.org and print a barcode which has to be brought to the event.
