ENTRIES are still being sought for the third annual Joe Geeling Five Mile Fun Run.

The popular event, to be staged on Sunday, June 6, has proven to be a great day out for families wishing to raise money for a good cause.

Lavender Hotel Group, which owns the Bolholt Country Park Hotel, is hosting and supporting the fun run which is sponsored by the North West Design Studios. The past two events have raised almost £14,000 for the Joe Geeling Trust, set up in memory of the murdered schoolboy.

Joe’s father, Mr Tom Geeling, said: “The support the trust has received from the people of Bury has been overwhelming and I am already looking forward to another fantastic day.”

The run will follow a five-mile circular route from the Bolholt. Competitors can register online at thejoegeelingfunrun.co.uk or fill out the form which will be published regularly in The Bury Times. Registration forms are also available at The Stables Fitness and Leisure Club, Walshaw Road, Bury. Entries will be accepted on the day of the run. The registration fee is £8 for adults and £4 for children.

There will be prizes for the first male and female runners and for the first male and female juniors and all competitors will receive a finishing medal. A prize will be awarded for the best fancy dress.
