Margaret Hollings, Fundraising and Events Manager at Nightingale House said “We are very excited about this new event. It is attractive for both experienced and amateur runners and it makes such a difference to be able to have all the roads closed.”

“Thanks go to Wrexham County Borough Council Traffic Management Dept, Amberon and JTM signs for their help in making this possible. For those running for fun, we would love to see some fun fancy dress costumes.
