The Family Fun Run, approximately 2km in length, will take place within the grounds of Retford Oaks School. There is no minimum age to enter; however, children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult. Prizes will be awarded to the first three finishers under the age of 17, and all participants will receive a medal. The entry fee is £3, and all entrants must complete either an online or paper entry form to take part.
