Starting and finishing in the centre of Media City you will head out around a 2.5km loop that runs over the canal and runs past the imperial war museum along with the ITV and BBC television studios.
Each kilometre will be accurately marked out and we have plenty of helpers to encourage you on your way to the finish line. Included in your entry fee are a themed medal, water and post-race goodies. Come and enjoy the day with us; we hope to see you there!
The race involves laps, the course is flat and quick. There will be 2 laps for the 5k, 4 laps for the 10k. The course follows the paths and pavements inside the centre of media city. This is not a closed road race.
MACS is a small charity making a big impact. In the UK, around 100 babies a year are born with these conditions and increasing numbers of people are seeking our support.
With YOUR help we can transform their lives. Your funds will help MACS to:
support families emotionally during the tough times
provide a platform for people to support each other and share experiences
share information, resources and essential equipment
organise social and sporting activities to build self-confidence and independence
fund research into genetic causes of the MACS conditions
