Kimberley’s Estate Agency is once again the main sponsor for the Mawnan Fun Run, which takes place on Sunday, September 27.

Company owner Steve Kimberley presented Rod Allday, Falmouth Rotarian and chairman of Mawnan Fun Run committee, with a cheque for £200, providing much needed funds to ensure that this year’s event can be even better than ever.

Rod said: ‘‘This is the second consecutive year that Steve and the team at Kimberley’s have been involved with Mawnan Fun Run and the fun run committee greatly appreciates Kimberley’s sponsorship. The money kindly donated will go towards the overheads of staging the event, such as goodie bags, race equipment and road closure operations so that we can maximise the monies raised for charities.’’

After being resurrected in 2012, Mawnan Fun Run has gone from strength to strength and last year’s event raised £2,600 with a record 200 competitors taking part.

Some fantastic prizes have been donated, with first prize for the first man and first lady in the 10k and 5k races being dinner, bed and breakfast at the Budock Vean Hotel and the Meudon Hotel respectively. The one mile fun run event is aimed at children under 12, with prizes for the boy and girl winners in each age group. On the day there will be fun and games for all at Carwinion Playing Field in Mawnan Smith, with sideshows, a raffle, food and licensed bar.

Entries are now being taken, with the special early bird discounted entry rates only available until Friday, July 31. Further details on how to enter can be found on the official Mawnan Fun Run website www.mawnanfunrun.org.uk/entries.
