Hide AdKirsty Miller, events manager at Bispham’s Trinity Hospice, which will benefit from the cash raised, said the run is “one of our most popular events”, with the flat route proving popular for runners of all abilities and wheelchair users – with seafront spectators cheering them on.
She said: “We were disappointment to have to cancel last year’s live event, and are so grateful to all those people who decided to make their race virtual instead.
“But we’re so pleased we’ve been able to put our fun run back on this year, even if it is at a much later date than usual.
“We’re so pleased so many people have already signed up to this event, and we want to make sure that no-one misses out.”

Hide AdKirsty added: “Every penny raised in sponsorship by people taking part in the Beaverbrooks Blackpool 10k Fun Run goes straight to helping us to provide outstanding palliative and end- of-life care to everyone who need it on the Fylde coast.”
