THERE are just three weeks to go until this year’s Sherwoods Vauxhall Darlington 10k run and limited places are still available.

The popular road race takes to the streets of Darlington on August 7 and the deadline for entries is next Friday, July 29.

Race director Phil Haymer said: “We’ve already seen an increase in numbers so far this year and we’re keen to encourage even more to join us for what has become one of the premier road races in the region.”

This year marks the 29th annual race and there is also still time to register for the Junior 3K run, supported by NHS Darlington Clinical Commissioning Group.

This takes place on the same day along with a Family Fun Run starting at 9am which is open to all ages, including pushchairs.

Mr Haymer said: “The reintroduction of the junior 3k last year proved very popular, and it achieved its highest entries in ten years.

“We hope to build on that success this year.”
