The Ross 10k, 5k and Fun Run were started in 2011 to raise money for Acorns, the Children's Hospice Charity, and to date over £5,000.00 has been raised by the event. Every penny of the registration fees, £15 for the 10k, £5 for the 5k and £2.00 for the Fun Run, goes directly to Acorns
If things go well over the next couple of years we would hope to include a half marathon in our calendar of events which will put Ross-on-Wye on the national running map and draw many more runners and visitors to our town.
It takes a lot of effort to organise these runs, but the more people involved the better and the more successful the events can be made.
