Ray Johnson, Race Director comments:
“This is an exciting ongoing project that will encourage people to
come to Shepway, enjoy the facilities with a mainly Seafront run and
further assist Rotary with local and International Charitable concerns.
The club will encourage the participants to run for their chosen
charity. The event was a fantastic success last year with over 730
runners and tremendous support from the crowds. There was 100% positive
feedback from the Runners World comment facility. I am most pleased with
the support that we have had from various sponsors, including
Independent Insurance Services, Channel Moving, Medash Signs & Water for
Work.
Also, the assistance and cooperation of Folkestone Running Club,
Shepway District Council and the local police is appreciated. I would
encourage everyone to pass information on. As with other events
organised by the Rotary Club, this is an excellent opportunity to raise
monies for a chosen registered charity”. |
