The Charity Partner for this year's Wilmslow running festival, Bare Necessities Toiletry Bank, is encouraging all Fun Runners to take part and win.

To scoop a £50 voucher to spend at Running Bear all the fun runners need to do is enter the fun run online or on the day, bring a toiletry donation to the Bare Necessities stand and enter the "Guess the number of Mini toiletries" competition.  

Bare Necessities Trustee, Abigail Gill said "We were thrilled to be asked to become the charity partner for this year's festival. We have 25 runners, including myself, doing either the 10k or Half all raising much needed funds for our Wilmslow based charity. 

"We are hoping to extend the conversation around hygiene poverty to our friendly and supportive community of runners and their supporters." 

The charity are encouraging the local community to take part in the Fun Run. The 2.5km course will take runners along country lanes which are closed to traffic.

The start and finish are the same locations as the Half and 10k races and it starts immediately after the main race competitors have departed.

All Fun Run participants will receive a medal, a chocolate bar and a juice drink. Plus the first 3 runners will win a Running Bear teddy. 

Even if you don't want to "fun run" you can still enter the Guess the Mini Competition and be in with a chance of winning £50 Running Bear voucher.
