HAVENS Hospices are calling on local businesses to run in a county sport event to raise vital funds.

Race4Business is a fun 5K race in Chelmsford which brings colleagues together for a social evening outside of the office.

This established event is returning to the city on Wednesday July 5th at 6.30pm.

This will be the 24th year of the race, taking teams of businesses – sometimes in fancy dress or matching outfits – through Chelmsford’s Admirals Park and Central Park.

After participants have finished their run, food and drink stalls, music and entertainment will be available.

The mainly flat course has no minimum speed or standard of fitness required; participants can walk, jog or run making it suitable for all ages and abilities.

There will also be prizes for the winning individuals and teams, adding a competitive and team-building element to the event.

Rossella Inguscio, Corporate Fundraiser at Havens Hospices said: “Year on year we are blown away by the support from local businesses who turn out to support Havens Hospices at Race4Business.

“We must raise more than £85,000 a week to be there for everyone who needs us during the most difficult times, and it’s thanks to the support from local businesses we can make this happen.

“We’d love to see as many of you as possible from businesses. You don’t have to be an experienced runner to take part, it’s all about having some fun on the day, all in support of a great cause.”

It’s £22 per person to take part and to register a team, visit: havenshospices.org.uk/race4business
