ATHLETES of all ages can explode out of the starting blocks and help raise cash for local good causes.

The annual fun run organised by Warndon Parish Council, in Worcester, takes place on Sunday, June 3.

Last year 300 runners took part in the race around Warndon Villages which includes a children's run, a 5km, 10km and 15km races, raising more than £700 for good causes.

The event runs between noon and 4pm at the Lyppard Grange Community Centre, Ankerage Green, Warndon Villages.

Potential beneficiaries this year include the Maggs Day Centre and St Richard's Hospice. There will also be other activities set up by the Rangers and information on wildlife sites in Worcester.

Those who want to take part can register with the parish council or turn up on the day.
