East Suffolk welcomes a new fast flat road race - The Run for A Rose 10k

The inaugural Run for A Rose 10k event is in memory of the dearly loved and missed Angela Rose. All the profits of this event will be split between St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich and Macmillan Cancer Support. These charities provided fantastic care and support for Angela, her family and countless other people living with progressive and terminal illnesses. This event is held in partnership with East Suffolk Council.

The chosen charities provided fantastic care and support for people living with progressive and terminal illnesses and Angela and her family were fortunate to have such support. This event is held in partnership with East Suffolk Council. 

This will be a chip timed event on a predominantly flat course.
