A NEW monthly National Trust running initiative is being launched at Ormesby Hall later this month.

Trust10 is a free 10k event which hopes to encourage people to get active outdoors whilst also exploring historic sites.

Held at 9am, on the 4th Sunday of each month, the charity has created a series of 10k routes at a selection of places across the UK, including the Hall, near Middlesbrough.

The first event will take place at 9am on Sunday, July 22. The tea-room will be open from 8.30am for refreshments before and after the run. Dogs must be kept on leads and the run is for over 16s only.
