THE Stroke Association and the Rotary are encouraging runners to take part in a five or ten kilometre run at Hagley Hall to help conquer stroke.

The event, supported by Clent Hills and Hagley Rotary Club, is one of 29 fundraising Resolution Runs taking place this spring.

Katrin Winstanley, events manager at the Stroke Association, said: “The Resolution Run at Hagley Hall is the ideal event for people in Worcestershire who have made a New Year’s resolution to get more active.

“The events are open to all ages and abilities, and participants can run, jog or walk the routes.”

The Stroke Association are providing a full training guide to help keep Resolution Runners on track and every entrant will receive a running top and medal.

The money raised will fund vital research and help support people affected by stroke in the West Midlands.

Mrs Winstanley added: “We’re very thankful to Lord Cobham of Hagley Hall for allowing us to use the beautiful estate, and to Clent Hills Rotary Club and Hagley Rotary Club who have been a tremendous support in organising the day.”

Entry costs £15. For more information visit stroke.org.uk/resolution or email resolution@stroke.org.uk.
