Mawnan Fun Run committee are counting down to the main event and have announced that Kimberley's Estate Agency has signed up to sponsor the fundraiser yet again.

The fun run, which will take place on Sunday, September 24, has become a popular fixture in both the village and the road running calendar and draws competitors from all over Cornwall and beyond for the 5k, 10k and one mile children's fun run.

This is the fourth year that Kimberley's has supported the event by providing much needed finances to help cover the running costs which means that the majority of the money raised through entry fees can be donated to local charities.

In the past Kimberley’s has also provided sports drink bottles for all competitors and this year they will be supplying something new for the goody bags which will be revealed on the day. As he handed over his cheque to the committee last week, Steve Kimberley said: "Mawnan Fun Run is one of my favourite events of the year and I am always very keen to support the great work that Falmouth Rotary Club does in organising such a successful day. I'm really looking forward to being there on the day and cheering the runners on as they cross the line."

Rotarian Rod Allday, chairman of the organising committee, encourages as many people as possible to enter in advance at mawnanfunrun.org.uk. "We have already received lots of entries to date but can only guarantee medals and goody bags to those who enter before the closing date which is midnight on Sunday, 17th September, so runners need to make sure they don't leave it too late."

The event starts from Carwinion Playing Field in Mawnan Smith at 10am and, in addition to the races, there will be plenty of entertainment in the field for spectators and competitors making it a great day out for all the family.
