Stroke Association calls on Derby to go the extra mile with Resolution Run
The Stroke Association is calling on everyone in Derby to join them at the charity’s 5km Resolution Run at Markeaton Park on Sunday 23 September 2018.
The event is open to all ages and abilities, and participants can run, jog or walk their way to the finish line.
Lucy Burnip, community and Events Fundraiser at the Stroke Association, said: “A Resolution Run is the ideal event for families and friends in Derby who want to do something fun together while getting more active. Every five minutes across the UK, someone’s life is turned upside down by stroke. By signing up to a Resolution Run, each runner will help us ensure that we can continue to support stroke survivors and their families as they rebuild their lives.”
At least half of all strokes could be prevented if people made simple lifestyle changes, such as keeping blood pressure under control, eating healthily and taking regular exercise. The money raised through the Resolution Run in Derby will help the Stroke Association to fund vital research and support people affected by stroke in the Midlands.
Entry fee is just £16. All runners receive a technical running t-shirt and medal. For more information about entering or volunteering at the Resolution Run, visit http://www.stroke.org.uk/resolution, email resolution@stroke.org.uk or call 0300 330 0740.
