Community Fun Run in Swan Pool Park

The Friends Group will be trialling a three-lap course. The run will be timed and participants will receive a race number, which must be collected on the day before 8.50am.

Participants are encouraged to consider walking to the park from Wollaston or the Old Quarter where possible.

Parking options includeWollaston Junction car park, the rear of the Unicorn, or Mary Stevens Park.

Lois Bramall, former Councillor for Wollaston and Chair of the Friends Group for Swan Pool Park, said: “We hope runners will make a morning of it and support local cafés in Wollaston Village and around Mary Stevens Park. There are a number of excellent cafés that would welcome the additional custom.

“There will also be a bucket collection for St John Ambulance, who will be providing first aid cover, and we hope people will consider donating to this good cause.”

Following the event, the Friends Group will be carrying out a park clean-up. Runners and supporters are warmly invited to stay and help. To take part in the event or to volunteer as a marshal, please use the online form.
