Southport's Mad Dog 10k
is heading back for 6th year!
IF you like to run, take note as
the Southport Hesketh Round Table Mad Dog 10k returns for the 6th year on
Sunday, 7 February 2016. The challenge is a firm favourite with budding
athletes, attracting around 2,500 entrants each year. Skelmersdale based
Salads to Go, part of the popular bagged salad brand and headline sponsor
Florette, will also be entering a team into the race, with preparation
already well underway. Ideal for beginners through to pros, the run will
start at 10.40am, from Marshside Road, Southport, with the course taking
runners along the Southport's shoreline. Niki Webster, marketing manager at
Forette,
said:- "This year's Mad Dog 10k is set to be bigger and better than
ever, and 'Team Florette' is already looking forward to joining local
runners on the start line at this feelgood event!"
The Mad Dog 10k has been crowned Best 10k Race in the UK by a range of
running organisations throughout the years, including Runners World and the
National Running Awards. It is organised by the Southport Hesketh Round
Table, with proceeds from the race donated to local charities. Race
Director, Adrian Shandley, of the Southport Hesketh Round Table, adds:-
"The dedication and enthusiasm of the local community is what makes this
10k run such a special event, and year after year, there's a real buzz
around the course. We look forward to seeing 'Team Florette' and our other
local runners in action on the day."
