Brigg's Coun Carl Sherwood, cabinet member for customer services, sport and leisure at North Lincolnshire Council, said: “The event is for people of all levels and aims to encourage more ladies to get running. Running is a popular sport and many like to start training now to build up their distance for this event.
“We will be producing a training programme – available soon on our website that people can follow so they are well prepared for the event. You can register online now at www.metrestomiles.co.uk
Julian Moorhouse, of Metres to Miles, said: “The run is a great opportunity to get fit, meet people and achieve a personal goal. The emphasis is on fun, so you can go at your own pace. Last year’s event attracted over 350 women with a mix of runners, joggers and walk/joggers. We’ve also introduced a corporate team award for the first time. We were so pleased to see so many teams entering last year from work places from all over the area.”
