The events will be held on 8th September, with both races getting underway at 10.30am at King Edward VI School.

Race director Cass Jackson said the organising committee at Lichfield Running Club were looking forward to welcoming competitors.

“The 10K race and fun run are special event in our club calendar,” Cass said. “We are privileged to be able to host this race for the Lichfield community and we find it so inspiring to see all of the runners and supporters out on the course on the day.

“The event is a sell out every year – we have already sold 1,000 places so you need to act quickly if you want to enter this year’s race.”

The Lichfield 10k 2019 welcomes a new main sponsor,  The Pool House Group who are already in training and have signed up teams to enter both the 10K and fun run as well as taking on marshalling duties to cheer on their colleagues.

Operations director Fiona Haigh said: “We are excited about sponsoring the Lichfield 10K this year.

“The race is a great event encouraging people to be more active and we are pleased to be a part of it, helping to raise funds for many local causes.

“The majority of our team are fitness enthusiasts with some who already run and some who have started running recently, so it will be great to see members of our team taking part.”

Entries must be pre-booked online, with no acceptance on the day. For more details visit www.lichfield10k.co.uk.
