GEAR up to avoid missing out!

With two thirds of the entries already sold, organisers have confirmed there are just under 1000 entries left for the 2020 Asda Foundation GEAR 10K.

There is just over two months to go to this year’s run in King’s Lynn on Sunday 3rd May and it is on track to be another sell out year. The charity 10K has a 3,000 capacity and is expected to hand a huge fundraising boost to both local and national causes.

The Asda Foundation Grand East Anglia Run is close to selling out for the fourth year in a row and runners have been urged to secure their starting spots before it is too late.

Participants are welcome to run for fun, a cause close to their heart or one of the event’s partner charities which include – the Jane Tomlinson Appeal, Norfolk and Waveney Mind, The Purfleet Trust, East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices, Forward, the Benjamin Foundation, Headway, Theresa’s Tiny Treasures and King’s Lynn Churches Together Night Shelter.

GEAR 10K is organised by not-for-profit company Run For All, working on behalf of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council and Alive.

Tristan Batley-Kyle, Run For All’s Head of Events, said: “We are absolutely delighted with the response to the GEAR year after year. We are heading for another sell out and can’t wait to see the thousands of fundraisers, fun-runners and club runners take to the streets for this special event.

“Well done to all those runners who have already secured their place, and all those interested in being a part of this fantastic day need to act now.”

Returning in 2020 is the GEAR 10K  Bespak Corporate Challenge, in which companies, groups of friends, charities and other organisations will battle it out to be crowned the fastest firm in the race. Entry is open to teams of five or more and includes hospitality and other benefits. The times of the first three team members home will be used to calculate the winners.

Also returning is the popular Bespak Mini GEAR - a 1.2-mile fun run for people of all ages and abilities (entrants must be 6 years and up). Every finisher will receive a Mini GEAR medal to show off their achievements.
The Asda Foundation GEAR 10K is supported by Asda Foundation, King’s Lynn Borough Council, Alive, Bespak, Your Local Paper, Lynn News, KLFM, Arla Protein, Runderwear, Motorpoint, High 5, Sportsshoes, Just Giving and Marathon Photos.
