RUN WITH ROBIN HOOD – Sunday 12 September
Join the merry men and women of Victim Support in Nottinghamshire in this year’s Experian Robin Hood Festival of Running! The Marathon and Half Marathons start at 10.05am and a number have indicated they will run for Victim Support in those.
Most people will want to do the ‘Fun Run!’ Except this year it’s called the Mini Marathon, which sounds much more exciting. But don’t worry, it’s exactly the same course as before – just 2.6 miles around the Meadows – and you can walk if you like! We’re asking all Victim Support participants to meet at the War Memorial, Victoria Embankment, Nottingham, 9.00 – 9.45, for photos. The Mini Marathon itself starts nearby at 10.20am.
