Organisers of the Fun Run are aiming to raise even more than last year's £19,5000 for CLIC Sargent and local good causes.
The event starte in the early 1980s and draws huge numbers of runners, many from clubs that now consider Oldbury a main feature in their sporting calendar. Thornbury Running Club is closely associated with the event, and a host of talented club runners are involved.
