Stratford's runners and walkers are gearing up to hit Stratford's pavement for the annual Stratford Nexan Mackays Pharmacy fun run/walk event.
Stratford Runners and Walkers spokeswoman Tracy Sullivan says it is the 40th year of the Nexan series and there's plenty planned to celebrate the milestone.
"There will be a special medal for anyone who competes in at least four of six events for the Nexan series and Front Runner is sponsoring a trophy to mark 40 years to continue on through the years for the 10km run on a points-based system from the series. Subway is also sponsoring a trophy for the 5km run on a points-based system from the series."
The event, the second of six in the Nexan series, has three distances, making it suitable for all fitness levels.
"By having the different courses, the event accommodates the walkers and the runners who want to compete for prizes."
