Part 5
Now if you’re looking for something to do this weekend,
why not join in the Bartlow town race on Saturday. The
race starts at Bartlow Town Hall and finishes at the
football stadium, that’s five kilometres. And don’t worry
if you can’t run all that way – walkers are welcome too!
The race begins at quarter past ten but you should arrive
at the Town Hall forty-five minutes before, at half past
nine, to check in and get your race number.
