A NEW running festival event is set to take place in Chirk at the beginning of next month, and will support a local children’s charity.

Brynkinalt Running Festival, based at the Brynkinalt Estate, is scheduled to take place on July 4 and has announced Gobowen-based charity The Movement Centre as a partner.

The event is one of three organised by Adrenaline Sporting Events which The Movement Centre will be a partner for.

Alan Lewis, director at Adrenaline Sporting Events is excited to welcome runners back for an event after more than a year of absence due to the pandemic.

He said: “Adrenaline sporting events are extremely proud to be teaming up with Town and Country, Oswestry, and The Movement Centre for the Brynkinalt Running Festival.

“After months with no events we can't wait to welcome runners on the July 4.”

The event is the first of its kind in Wales to be granted a race license since the pandemic started more than 15 months ago.

Brynkinalt Running Festival brings together an active community of people taking part in sporting events for reasons ranging from fitness, competition, charity, health, fun or to simply finish.

The participants vary of all ages and all abilities of trail runner.

Hosted by Brynkinalt Hall, the event is being supported by local companies, including the fabulous Town and Country Estate Agents, Oswestry.

The company has five runners taking on the 5k, which is one of three races happening on the same day.

There will also be 10k and 20k race distances, and runners are being asked to sign up and challenge themselves.

Partner at Town and Country, Richard Ellis, is pleased the company is taking part in aid of The Movement Centre.

“We are all very pleased at Town and Country Oswestry to be taking part in the 5K fun run on July 4, in aid of The Movement Centre,” he said.

“We think it is a wonderful cause and are delighted to be part of the fundraising.

“Let’s hope we all make it to the finish.”
