THE Badminton Estate is opening its gates once again to runners and walkers to take part in a 10k run and 4k family walk.

The event will be held on Sunday, September 14, raising money for Tetbury based charity Hope for Tomorrow.

Hope for Tomorrow provides a Mobile Chemotherapy Unit to Gloucestershire Hospitals.

It currently goes out to Stroud, Cirencester, Cinderford and Tewkesbury, saving patients long distances of travel and waiting times.

Badminton House makes a great backdrop for the race and the grounds offer fantastic views and a safe traffic-free course, that can be enjoyed by both experienced and beginner runners.

Walkers and their dogs are also welcome to take part on either route.

The event is a perfect distance for those wishing to train for the upcoming Stroud Half Marathon.
