THE site where the 1605 Gunpowder plot was supposedly hatched is the main attraction along the route of Crowle's second annual fun runs.

Runners from Droitwich Spa and Bromsgrove are joining Midlands athletes for two fund-raising events in the village on Sunday, May 4.

The gunpowder plot 10k and one-mile fun run will raise funds for sports facilities on Crowle's playing field.

The gunpowder plot race passes Huddington Court, where plotters are thought to have made their plans.

Entry to the 10km race is £5 for club runners or £6 for non-club runners. The fun run is £4 and forms are available from organiser Fizz Bewley on 01905 381080.
