A FAMILY Fun Run will be taking place in aid of Breast Cancer Now at Cosmeston Park next week.

The All Soles 2k and 5k Family Fun Run has been organised by the Women Running Penarth club who, this year, are celebrating their fifth anniversary.

Chairwoman of Women Running Penarth Erika Fitzgibbon said: "Last year whole families came and enjoyed the morning at Cosmeston and this year we celebrate our fifth anniversary, so there will be cake as well as medals for all finishers and trophies for the overall female and male winners.

"We hope to raise lots of money for Breast Cancer Now as SOHO - the Aveda hairdresser in Herbert Terrace Penarth - have sponsored the event and will offer a complimentary hand and arm massage for all finishers.

"We would like to thank both our sponsors, SOHO and Infographics, for their kind generosity. It's because of their support that we can ensure all money goes to the charity and not to cover the cost of medals, trophies, refreshments, first aid cover and promotional material. "

The All Soles run will be taking place at Cosmeston on Sunday, June 26 at 11am. To enter the Family Fun Run download the form at www.womenrunningpenarth.org.uk.

The Penarth-based club was formed in 2011 and welcomes women of all ages and abilities, women who have not tried running before and women who are keen to return to running after a break. The club offers a supportive and safe environment for any woman wanting to challenge herself physically as much or as little as she wants and to meet other women who are interested in keeping fit and making new friends.
