TBCHatfield Broad OakHATFIELD BROAD OAK 10K RUN
Are you an occasional or a serious runner – or even a complete novice with a will to start running? If so, please enter the annual Hatfield Broad Oak 10km Run to show your support for Stop Stansted Expansion.

The event takes place in and around the village, which is three miles south of Stansted Airport. The run is always well supported and now attracts c1200 runners keen to help a range of local and other causes. The event will again be using 'Champion Chip' technology, which will time individual runners from crossing the start line to crossing the finishing line.

We're looking for people who'll enter on behalf of SSE, either wearing campaign T-shirts or raising money for SSE through sponsorship. Those who register to take part need to be capable of completing the 10km (6.2 mile) course in 90 minutes. A training plan for beginners is available here.

Advance registration is essential and, if you would like to enter as part of the SSE team, please tell us and note this on your application form at: www.hbo-10k.org.uk

SSE will refund the entrance fee to anyone who raises over £50 in sponsorship for the campaign. Sponsorship forms are available here.
