"All runners are actively fundraising for us and their efforts will go a long way to supporting the work of our colleagues at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust.

"Thank you to Mapledurham for choosing us and to our Royal Berks Charity supporter family who are running for us – we will be there to cheer you on!”

This year the event will have a few changes to ensure everyone’s safety.
