£100 up for grabs for breaking course record

Organisers of the popular Langtoft 10k road race are hoping for another record entry as it celebrates its 30th event this year.

The race through Langtoft, Greatford and Barholm has attracted record numbers in each of the past five years and organisers hope to get close to the 400 entry limit for the milestone race day on Sunday, May 5.

As well as a host of prizes, including cash for the first under-25s home and £100 to anyone who breaks the course record, there will be the added attraction of chip timing for the first time this year.

What started as a race from the village pub car park three decades ago has grown to become a hugely popular run that attracts people of all abilities, often from far beyond the south Lincolnshire area.

And, as usual, the 10k will be preceded by the 3k fun run that brings hundreds of children, relatives and their supporters on to the village’s streets.

Entry to the 10k, which starts at 11:15am, is only available online. Entry to the 3k, which starts an hour earlier, is available online or on the day. Enter via the website: https:// www.langtoftroadrun.com/
