A RECORD number of runners are expected for this year's Prestwood 10K Race.

Organisers say they are expecting a bumper crowd of competitors on Sunday because of a shortage of local races recently.

The race starts from Prestwood Sports Centre, Honor End Lane, at 11am.

Organiser Liz Rankine said: "The Prestwood 10K is popular with runners of all abilities and we actively invite new runners to give it a try.

"In addition to the trophies for athletes clubs, we are also encouraging groups of friends to enter for our fun team trophy."

Runners will be able to take advantage of a full range of changing and refreshment facilities and even a free massage service to loosen up the muscles.

Runners can enter the race on the day but people are being warned to turn up early.

Entry forms are available from shops around Prestwood.
