The Balsall Common Fun Run returns for its 5th Edition on Sunday 23rd September 2018, coordinated as always by The Lily Mae Foundation with the usual support from The Heart of England School’s staff, students and Parent Teacher’s Association (PTA).
The community Fun Run – which starts and finishes at The Heart of England School – will include plenty to keep the runners and spectators fed and entertained.
The event has an all-inclusive remit and aims to attract Walkers, Joggers, Runners and Racers of all ages, abilities and anyone with novel ideas for ways of taking part:
“We welcome entrants who wish to run, or walk with pushchairs, or run with their dogs and we’re happy to accommodate all sorts of applications,” explains Fun Run Organiser and Lily Mae Foundation Trustee Geoff Heaps:
“Fancy dress is welcome and this year we already have a penguin taking part.”
Geoff was also keen to express The Lily Mae Foundation’s gratitude for support received from the community and sponsors:
“We’re grateful to the Heart of England School for allowing us to use the School field. It’s a great place to watch all the action and take in the atmosphere. The PTA has also been a great help in organising a range of food and drink stalls, including activities for children to get the Day and the Fun Run off to the best of starts. We’re also grateful to our many sponsors without whom we couldn’t stage this event.”
