6th Family Fun Run in Salou Sunday 9th May 2010
On Sunday, 9th May 2010, the Freesia Group celebrates its 6th Family Fun Run in the capital of the Costa Daurada – the family holiday resort of Salou. In collaboration with the local Town Hall, Sports Department, Tourism Office, local, regional and national businesses, we aim to surpass the €10,000 raised in 2009 for cancer charities in Spain. Last year some 800 runners completed the 10 km and 4 km courses, producing a mixture of serious runners from local running clubs and lots of families and youngsters. Many came in fancy dress and put the ‘fun’ into the run whilst raising money for a worthy cause. The setting couldn’t have been more perfect – golden beaches and a superb climate. In fact, a great day out for all the family!
Starting time: 10.00 am from the statue of Jaime 1 in Paseo Jaime 1, Salou (promenade, opposite McDonalds)
Distances: 10 km for the more serious athletes and 4 kms for novices and walkers of all ages and for children under 12.
All entrants will receive a T-shirt, a medal depicting the Santa Maria Church, a goodie bag and refreshments after the race.
Trophies for all categories! Prizes for the best fancy dress. The first three runners in each category will receive a commemorative cup and a bouquet.
Get your teams together!!! Come on foot, roller skates, with prams, bring your dogs – whatever – anything for a laugh!
