Paula Radcliffe's Families on Track relay event is returning to Silksworth.
-
Families are being invited to join in a community sporting event at Silksworth Sports Complex on Sunday.
Part of an initiative to encourage households to get more active, families are challenged to complete the 8,000m of continuous running loops of various distances, from 200m, 400m and 800m, at the site's newly-laid athletics track.
Each team can be between three to five people, of which at least one must be under 16 and at least one over 18.
The relay event will give the whole family a chance to be active together, no matter their fitness level.
