THIS weekend will see scores of runners take to Vale roads for the Blackmore Vale Half Marathon.

The event, organised by the Lions Club, will get underway from Bishop’s Caundle sports field at 11am on Sunday (February 5).
Organisers are encouraging last-minute entrants to get their running shoes on a register online until Saturday (February 4).

“The more runners and sponsors we have the more we collect for charity and the more we can help worthy local, regional and international good causes,” said a Blackmore Vale Lions Club spokesperson.
“We can do our bit for charity. We need you to help us. Every little helps.”
People are also being encouraged to turn out to support those taking part – and the group would be keen to hear from anyone able to help out on the day – see the map right.
Organisers said a very limited number of entries would be accepted on the day.
