Six local charities including EACH, CLAPA and Suffolk Wildlife Trust - Martlesham Wilds set to receive £2,000 with fundraising efforts of Woodbridge Shufflers Running Club, racegoers and sponsors.
About the 10k
The event, which features a 10k circuit for Seniors, and a separate Junior race, follows the success of last year’s race, which returned triumphant after a two year break due to the pandemic. This great 10k race has been staged in the town for over 40 years and has raised over £100k for local charities.
How to enter
The race entry is open to the public on 18th March at noon. Those wishing to try for a place should keep a close eye on the Woodbridge Shufflers website and social media channels just before noon, where the link to the entry portal will be made available.
Lucy Beales, Club Secretary, says:
“As always, we are expecting the race to be over-subscribed, so make sure to keep a close eye on the clock to give yourself the best chance of bagging a place! Runners will receive a commemorative t-shirt as part of their entry fee - we have a fantastic t-shirt design under wraps, and we can’t wait to see the runners proudly wearing their efforts in the town after the race.”
The event is a huge social event with spectators turning up in their droves to support the runners over the two-lap course which passes The King’s Head, The Bull, The Duke Of York, The Cherry Tree, The Anchor and The Red Lion as well as The Galley restaurant - not to mention all the shops and cafes in The Thoroughfare.
