Members of Nantwich Running Club are supporting local Parkruns by attending one each month.
A parkrun is a free, weekly, timed 5km run that takes place in parks and open spaces around the world.
An eight-year-old from Stapeley ran a mile every day in February to help raise funds for families in the Ukraine war.
William Metcalfe grew increasingly concerned for the people of Ukraine as the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion approached.
Four young friends from Wistaston have completed their fundraising running challenge in aid of refugee families in war-torn Ukraine.
Reuben Knott, William Burton, Henry Carless (all aged 8), and Harry’s brother Jacob (11) have already raised more than £2,200 and donations are still flooding in.
A “Not Parkrun” is set to take place on Barony Park in Nantwich tomorrow (Saturday March 19).
Organiser Paul McIntyre says the run will be on surrounding public paths from 9am where people will be encouraged to independently run or walk three miles.
A regular Nantwich “Parkrun” event on the Barony could be a few strides closer after councillors backed the idea amid the park’s “masterplan” consultation.
The “Barony Masterplan” includes a running/walking track around the perimeter of the park.
Organisers of the popular Crewe Park Run held in Queens Park say the community event is set to return on June 5.
The weekly get-together for hundreds of people had to be cancelled during the Covid pandemic lockdowns.
