The 5K (3 miles) course, which is also suitable for wheelchair uses, is in Herrington Park, a magnificent green site within beautiful surroundings. Located near historic Penshaw Monument it is a haven for running, walking, picnics, model boating and cycling.
Entry is 10 for adults, 5 for 0-17 year-olds and 25 for a family group of two adults and two children. All entrants will receive a commemorative t-shirt, medal and goodie bag.
Grace House Celebrity Friend Terry Deary will be taking part and said: "To celebrate this massive year in Grace House's history I'm doing FIVE races this year in support of the charity. From the Beamish Tram Challenge Fun Run and 10k at Beamish to the Great North 10k at the Stadium of Light, to the Great North Run half-marathon and finishing with the Race for Grace. Thirty Grace-ful miles in total."
Terry will begin the Race for Grace on the day and is hoping to beat his record of doing the fun run in 30 mins or less! He will also be bringing along some of his books which you will be able to purchase for 5 and Terry will personally sign the book too. All the money will be donated to the Grace House appeal.

We need your support more than ever because we're on course to start building in October. If you'd like to take part in our fun run please do join us at Herrington Park.
