On Saturday 18th September from 10:30am – 4:00pm there will be a Fun Day at the British Red Cross charity shop in Stony Stratford.
The event is to celebrate The Ultra MK Challenge, a brand new and unique running event in Milton Keynes this Summer.
The Ultra MK Challenge is a 30k and 60k ultra running event with a twist.
Participants will run a physical route starting and finishing at the British Red Cross charity shop in Stony Stratford.
The special twist is that it can be completed on any one day between now until Sunday 3rd October.
Both routes are marked out with QR codes so that runners can track themselves and record their times.
Leanne Sinclair, local Senior Community Fundraiser for the British Red Cross says; “We are delighted to have the support of Big Cow Sports Ltd who are running The Ultra MK Challenge.
"We hope people will sign up and run one of the distances, either as a group or individually on 18th September where will also be having a Fun Day to celebrate the first year of The Ultra MK Challenge.
"This will be a great day to run it as you can bring your whole family along to enjoy all the fun activities planned. There will be a yummy cake sale, guess the number of British Red Cross badges in a jar and a raffle - with prizes including: beauty and wellbeing care sets, headphones and restaurant vouchers.
"We also have a very special guest making an appearance on the day, the Mayor of Milton Keynes Councillor Mohammed Khan who will be celebrating everyone’s achievements for this event."
