Colchester Charity Races 2012
The Rotary Club of Colchester Trinity (Trinity) is promoting and organising the third of the Colchester Charity Races on Sunday May 13th 2012.
As last year it will again start and end at Abbey Fields, the traditional venue for large scale events in the historic Roman town of Colchester.
The event will again comprise a 10km road race, this time with an improved start position and finishing on the Garrison Running track. We expect slightly improved race times as a result of this minor adjustment to the route.
The main beneficiary from the race will be the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) and we all know how important it is to support our valiant servicemen and women. We will also make donations to other Rotary charities. We would encourage runners to seek sponsorship for charity for their own run, either to these charities or to other good causes that they personally select. The Rotary Club of Colchester Trinity can help with guidance and can forward donations to the above stated charities if runners wish to do this.
We hope that runners from last year will be keen to participate again either to improve their running time or sponsorship for charity and will mention the event to their like-minded their friends. Trinity will be promoting the event to other athletic and running clubs in Colchester and East Anglia.
We thank Colchester & Tendring Athletics Club (C.A.T.S.) and Colchester Harriers for their valuable support.
