A new date has been set for the St Giles Hospice Lichfield 5k run.

The event had to be postponed due to snow, but will now take place on April 14.

The run will take place in Beacon Park and raise much-needed funds for the charity.

A spokesperson said: “Whether you’re looking to get fit, lining up for the beginning of a full calendar of running events, or just keen to enjoy some healthy exercise outdoors, it’s the perfect chance to stretch your legs after a long winter cooped up indoors.”

The event starts at 9.30am and everyone who registers will receive a fundraising pack with sponsorship forms. Entry is £10.
