Entrants are preparing to tie their shoelaces and lace up their trainers for the Skylark Run for Cancer Research.

After the "sell-out success" of last year’s run, the Fenland events venue will see the run around its lake complex become annual.

Runners of all abilities are welcome for the 10k and 5k route, which also includes a "Family Mile".

The run, which will be precision timed by Sublime Timing, will be marshalled and have first aiders in attendance.

An MC will also be present, cheered on runners.

The Skylark Run was pioneered by the owner’s wife, Melanie Gowler, who enjoyed running around the lakes and participating in the Race for Life on numerous occasions.

She died a week after the run in 2024, and it was decided that all the profits from the run will be donated to Cancer Research UK.

You can register for this year’s run by visiting www.skylarkgardencentre.co.uk, calling 01354 741212, or visiting their website.

Registration opens at 9.30am, and the run will start at 11am on October 4.
