Time is running out to enter Bespak Grand East Anglia Run

Places for the Bespak Grand East Anglia Run and Mini GEAR Fun Run are being snapped up this year and if the current trend continues it is likely that all places will have been taken before the entry closing date.

Alive Leisure Race Director Roger Partridge said, "We've had an astonishing response to the event this year, which is absolutely brilliant."

A review of the course took place after last year's sell-out event to see if additional places could be offered.  Following this an additional 200 places were added to both the main event and the Mini GEAR giving a total of 3600 places across the two races.

As things stand it looks as though both events will be sold out several days before entries are due to close, so anyone wanting to take part needs to get their entry in as soon as possible to avoid being disappointed.
