Darlington Junior 3K run returns

Darlington Junior 3K run returns
21 April 2016

The revamped Darlington Junior 3K Road Run returns for its second year thanks to the support of NHS Darlington Clinical Commissioning Group which has agreed to a five-year sponsorship package.

Last year 176 young people between the ages of eight and 14 years took part, the most for any of our junior runs. Race Director Phil Haymer wants to quadruple that figure this year.

The re-introduction of the run is in part due to the Darlington Borough Council’s Healthy Darlington initiative that aims to get the people of the town to eat well, move more and live longer.  

There will be prizes for the top three male and female winners in their age categorises, and souvenir t-shirts for all the entrants.

The Junior 3K run takes place between the family fun run at 9am, which is for all the family including pushchairs, and the ever popular Sherwoods Vauxhall Darlington 10K, which starts at 10.30am on Sunday, 7 August.

There is a separate entry form for the Junior 3K and you can also apply online. Log onto the website at www.healthydarlington.co.uk/10k and follow the links to the Junior 3K.
