Fun run is music to our residents’ ears

The 10k and 5k fun run has stages along the promenade playing host to some of the north west’s finest acts and artists.

Over the past two events there have been more than 1,500 participants and 40 performers.

The promenade route, which is closed to traffic, will be fully marshalled with water and plenty of encouragement along the route. There will also be an opportunity to raise money for charity.

This year’s event will be offering special packages for any charities that want to get in touch.

There will also be packages for multiple purchases for businesses and running groups or if entrants want to enter for fun they can. Its their race, run, jog, walk or dance for charity or for fun.

The event is now in its third year and promises to be the best one to date.

All entrants will have access to some great offers with the Run Rewards Club, rewards last year included a free pint, £1 travel on Blackpool Transport, kids go free at Merlin attractions and more.

This year’s rewards will be announced soon very soon.

The first round of acts performing at the event includes last year’s main stage performers The Rattlers, Kalugo, which is an act new to Blackpool Music Run, and last year’s favourites Old Rope.

A new date for the run, probably at the end of the year, is being discussed by the run’s organisers.

Luke Taylor, event organiser said: “I am really excited about our third event.”
