Beat the Hill for Charity
Entry to a new road race in Bolsover has opened and organisers are looking for walkers, runners and cyclists to conquer the Hill.
The Bolsover Hill Races will take place on Sunday 22nd May.
It involves a series of 1 mile races where people can walk, run or cycle up a one mile course starting at Villas Road and finishing at Castle Street.
There are prizes for the fastest male and female who complete the course, and for the best fancy dress – it is only £10 to register and all proceeds will be donated to the Chesterfield Royal Macmillan Cancer Centre Appeal.
Organiser, Mark Dixey, 55 from Bolsover, said, “The Bolsover Hill Races are for people of all ages and abilities However long it takes you to beat the Hill, for every person who has a go, you’ll improve the lives of local people and their families affected by cancer.”
The Running Race is sponsored by Great Bear Distribition and the Cycle Time Trial by Chesterfield Cycling Centre.
Rob Turner, Senior fundraising manager for Macmillan said, “This event is organised entirely by local volunteers and we really hope the people of North Derbyshire get behind this new, annual community event. Whether you want to take it less seriously and do it in fancy dress or want to be the fastest up the Hill – register now and join what will be a very fun day.”
