Orbit Developments, headline sponsor of the event, is entering two teams, who will join the hundreds of other runners on the 10km course through Stockport and leading ‘Team Orbit’ is marketing manager and  keen runner Claire Stott.

A member of Stockport running club, Bramhall Runners, Claire has raised over £1,000 for charity running in some of the region’s most popular races and said:

“I’m thrilled that so many of my colleagues are lacing up their trainers for the run and raising money for such a good cause.
