Pictured L-R: Pete Snodden and Rebecca McKinney, Cool FM; Mark Jones, Action Cancer; Paulo Ross, Cool FM; Gemma Beattie, Centra NI launch the Centra Run Together 10K event at Ormeau Park, Belfast, in a bid to raise over \u00a320,000 for Action Cancer. New for this year, this more challenging 10K race will bring this year\u2019s Centra Run Together series to a close. The Ormeau Park event on Sunday 20th October will offer both 5K and 10K routes to create an exciting grand finale event, with all proceeds being donated to Action Cancer. A small entry fee will apply to both races, with 100% of the fee donated to Action Cancer. It is hoped that the event will make a large contribution to Centra\u2019s major \u00a33million fundraising target for the charity.

We each have varying levels of running ability, and there\u2019s no doubt that a 10K will be a challenge for us all. However, we are looking forward to taking on the challenge as a group and would encourage others to rally their friends and family to do the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Centra Run Together series, now in its fourth year, is part of Centra\u2019s Live Well initiative, which helps people to make healthier food and lifestyle choices. To date, almost 2000 runners have taken part in the 2019 series, with 5K events having taken place in Enniskillen, Bangor and Derry~Londonderry and Armagh. 1000 runners are expected to attend the Ormeau Park event, which also includes a 5K route, for those at the beginning of their fitness journey.<\/p>\n
A small entry fee will apply to both the 5K and 10K races at the finale event, with 100% of the fee donated to Action Cancer. It is hoped that the event will make a large contribution to Centra\u2019s major \u00a33million fundraising target for the charity, which will help to support projects including the Big Bus mobile breast screening unit and a Health Action Programme for children in schools.<\/p>\n
