Entries to the Watford 10k on 4th May are double the numbers this time last year, says Daniel Scott of Watford Round Table. Urging runners to sign up as soon as possible to avoid disappointment, Daniel Scott directed runners to the race website.

The Riverside Club in Northwood has announced that it will be sponsoring the Watford 10k, providing massages and warm-ups, as well as fruit to all the child runners. The Riverside also plans to start a running club for those raising sponsorship and to publicise the race to its members. Membership Manager Mark Adams commented,

‘The Riverside is delighted to be supporting Watford Mencap and Round Table in the Watford 10k. It’s a great chance for people to support important local good causes and improve their fitness at the same time.’

Watford Mencap’s Funding Manager Veronica Chamberlain welcomed the sponsorship. ‘The money raised in the 10k will support Watford Mencap’s Children’s Centre, which provides fun activities for 115 children and young people with a learning disability and gives their parents a welcome break.’
