ARE YOU READY FOR THE BIG RUN ?

On your marks, get set, Big Run!

There’s a BIG Run medal waiting at the finish line for every participant in this Sunday’s Big Stockport 10k Run which is the final event in the Big Event Series sponsored by Orbit Developments.  Organisers, Life Leisure, are expecting hundreds of runners of all standards to take part, spurred on by a fantastic summer of sport culminating in last week’s inspirational Invictus Games.

Neil Bardsley, Sport Development Manager at Life Leisure said: “This is the third year of the Big Run and we are anticipating a record turnout of people who are doing the race competitively or just for fun with many people taking part to raise money for their chosen charity. The whole event has literally gathered pace, and this year with our new category for teams of 8, we are going to have our strongest and the most competitive field to date.”

The Big Run sets off at 9am from St Petersgate in Stockport town centre on Sunday 21st September. It is still possible to take part, entry is open to anyone aged 16+ of all abilities and it costs just £15 per person, with a discount to £13 for UKA affiliated athlete. Chip technology ensures accurate race times for competitors and there’s a goody bag for everyone too!

Tony Jones, Managing Director of Orbit Developments said: “The Big Run has generated excellent interest and we look forward to welcoming hundreds of runners to Stockport Town Centre to take part. We’re pleased to be able to invest in an event which is growing every year and hope it reminds people what a good commercial, leisure and social space the town centre has. We have 24 runners of our own taking part in the event and we wish them and everyone involved the best of luck on the day.”

Orbit Developments is the largest commercial landlord in Stockport with 12 properties and a wide range of flexible serviced and managed office options.
