North Stainley school's fundraising 10K race to return next month
After two year's off because of covid restrictions, a major fundraising race day is back on track.
The Lightwater Valley 10K and 3K Challenges, organised by Friends of North Stainley School (FONSS), will take place on Saturday March 12.
With the number of runners limited to 500, would-be entrants are being asked to book their place as soon as possible.
Places can be purchased in advance from Race Best on https://racebest.com/races/g4zhe The fee is £15 for affiliated and £17 for unaffiliated runners.
The event, covering an undulating multi-terrain route that passes through the Lightwater estate and into the surrounding countryside, will raise much-needed funds for the village school.
North Stainley Primary School opened in 1871 and is still based in its original building, close to the village church of St Mary's.
The FONSS are the fundraising arm and use funds to contribute towards school trips, technology for pupils, music lessons and sporting activities.
Headteacher Louise Wallen, said:
Organisers would like to hear from anyone willing to help on the day by offering their services as marshals. Contact can be made via admin@northstainley.n-yorks.sch.uk
