RUNNERS are being asked to lace up their trainers for a six-mile run from Elworth Cricket Club in Sandbach.

The event, organised by Sand-bach Striders, will take place alongside a one-mile family fun run on Sunday, September 10.

South Cheshire College lecturer Liz O'Keefe, a member of the race committee, said: 'The community of Sandbach has been brilliant with businesses such as Flow-crete providing car parking, Waitrose sponsoring both races and providing food for the after race barbecue.'

The family run begins at 10.30am and there will be prizes for the first two past the finish line. Six-mile runners will be under starting orders at 11am.

Entries are accepted on the day.
