HEART Research is looking for Huddersfield athletes to fill their guaranteed places in the BUPA Great North Run.

The run, on September 18, is marking its 25th anniversary and is a very popular half marathon.

Heart Research has a number of guaranteed places available and is looking for people capable of running 13.1 miles from Newcastle to South Shields who can raise a minimum of £250 to support research into heart disease.

Runners who secured their own places in the event and who would like to raise funds for the charity are encouraged to get in touch.

All the money generated by runners in this event will go towards supporting Heart Research's work.

For more information on how to get involved please contact the fund-raising team on 0113 234 7474 or e-mail fund-raising @heartfoundation.org.uk.
