Hide AdPromotions manager Richard Griffiths said: “Registration starts at 10am on the day and we are looking for volunteers to help tick off the names of people who have turned up and collected the T-shirts.”
Richard also expects an influx of runners who only register on the day of the race and he would love to hear from volunteers willing to help with registering those people.
The Miles for Men 5k run starts at 1pm; the 5k Walk for Women at around 1.15pm; and the accompanying music festival from 1.30pm to 9pm.
Registration for Walk for Women – and for Miles for Men – is open at www.milesformen.co.uk
