Get set for annual fun run

BUDDING athletes and fun runners alike are being urged get their running shoes at the ready and sign up for the annual Craigavon Lakes 10km race and fun run taking place on Wednesday, June 2.

Organised by Craigavon Borough Council in partnership with St Peter’s Athletic Club, the route starts and finishes at Craigavon Watersports Centre.

For those participants who think 10kilometres is too much for them, there’s a five kilometre fun run and a one kilometre family challenge. The 1km challenge is open to everyone and families can run or walk it. There will also be a total of 1,000 in prize money up for grabs.
