Early bird offer for Wythall and Hollywood Fun Run

The event is taking place on Sunday, June 7 at 10am and offers discounted rates for the 5k, 10k, and Families on Track races for those who register before midnight on Monday, March 30.

Supported by Olympian and world champion Steve Cram and the Events of the North team, the run is designed for all ages and abilities.

Mr Cram said: "Wythall & Hollywood Fun Run stands out as an inclusive and uplifting event.

"Its friendly atmosphere and supportive spirit make it ideal for runners of all levels, whether you are just starting your journey or hoping to improve your best time.

"It is exactly the kind of grassroots celebration that shows how enjoyable running can be."

Runners will set off together in Wythall Park before the routes diverge.

Councillor Satinder Bell, cabinet member for health and wellbeing at Worcestershire County Council, said: "The Wythall and Hollywood Fun Run is about much more than taking part in a race.

"It brings people together, strengthens community spirit and inspires healthier ways of living.

"We are grateful to all our partners whose hard work and enthusiasm play such an important role in making this event a success."

Organisers said the event is also an opportunity for beginners to put the NHS Couch to 5k programme into practice, which helps people gradually work up towards running 5km in just 9 weeks.

All finishers will receive a newly designed metal medal.

The Wythall and Hollywood Fun Run is supported by Worcestershire County Council's public health team.

Organisers are encouraging everyone to take part.

A spokesman said: "Whether you run regularly, are just getting started, or simply want a great day out with family and friends, this community focused fun run has something for all."
