ST John's Hospice in Lancaster is looking for people to compete in the British 10k open road race. They have been allocated twelve places in the race and are seeking six men and six women who would like to join the St. John's Hospice team of runners. Each runner will be expected to raise personal sponsorship in aid of the Hospice.

Brenda Flanagan who is organising the Hospice Team said "This will be a very exciting event. It is the inaugural race and will attract thousands of entries. The two great strengths of this race are location and the attractive more easily attainable distance of 10k (6.2 miles). Places in the race will be very hard to come by. St. John's Hospice is offering a unique opportunity for local people to be part of this exciting event."
