BURY town centre will take on the mantle of a giant running track next month.

Scores of people are expected to take part in a sponsored five-mile run in aid of the Anthony Nolan Trust.

Organiser of the event, which will take place in and around the town centre on Sunday July 7, is Carol Snowdon who is a local fund raiser for the Anthony Nolan Trust.

And among those who have already signed up to take part is a team from the Stables Leisure Club at the Bolholt Country Park Hotel.

They will be hoping to prove their fitness and stamina by completing the course and raising cash for the worthwhile cause.
