UP TO 10 lucky runners are being given the choice to win special VIP entry to next year's half marathon.

To celebrate Women's Sport Week 2017 10 ladies are being given the chacne to win a free upgrade to their race entry.

Reading Half Marathon aims to encourage as many women as possible to tackle a new challenge by taking part in its annual half marathon, now in its 35th year.

The event hopes to build on its numbers from last year, which saw an impressive 6,031 women cross the finish line.

The prize include access to a VIP box at Reading's Madejski Stadium overlooking the finish line.

Any woman entering the race until June 25 will automatically be put forward for the draw.

Winners will be contacted within two weeks of the competition closing.
