The Chorley 10k returns this year, and we would like to encourage runners to take part on Sunday, the 5th of May. The route will see participants on the streets of Chorley itself as well as the route continuing through Astley Park. This event while open to runners ages 15 and above, really is a family event with children as young as 4 and families having the option to complete the 'Chorley 2k family run'.
This year, some members of the team here at PAR Group have decided to lace up their running shoes in aid of local charity Inspire. In the past, we have raised money and donated to their cause to 'give young people the opportunity to meet friends, have new experiences, learn new skills, and access the support they need to develop and achieve their potential.' by donating easter eggs and even running our 'Bah Humbug' campaign to raise funds for the charity. So when Inspire reached out to mention they were looking for people willing to take on the 10k in aid of helping them fundraise, we decided it was a great opportunity for us to help give back to the community while encouraging others to do the same.
As part of our community and sponsorship responsibility, we donate and support local clubs, schools, and social programs. We notably provide opportunities for the younger generation and encourage children to lead active and healthy lifestyles. How better to help than to lead by example!
The incredible team that put themselves forward to run have already started their training, and on behalf of the rest of the company, we would like to congratulate you on your efforts.
If you would like to show support for the team and help us raise money for an amazing local charity, please consider donating through our JustGiving page or come along on Sunday, 5th of May, to cheer the team on!
GO TEAM PAR!
UPDATE
On Sunday, the 5th of May, runners visited Chorley to participate in Chorley 10k.
We were lucky enough to be blessed by some warm weather; so far, the collective efforts of companies and supporters across Lancashire have raised £4176 for Inspire!
We want to thank all who have donated and give a special shoutout to our PAR Group runners!
