EMPLOYEES at an Oswestry business are taking on the challenge of running a 10k event in the town next month.

Evans Enterprise Group, based on the Artillery Business Park, is one of the sponsors of the Oswestry 10k, organised by Adrenaline Sporting Events.

Employees from EvaStore, Aluroll, Roche Systems, Globestock and The Fort Business Centre will be taking part in the race with the aim of raising even more money for Hope House.

Alan Lewis, founder of Adrenaline Sports, organised the first 10k in 2019, and this year’s competition is now approaching 1,000 entries.

He said: “We’re delighted to have Evans Enterprises participating in Oswestry 10K.

“Hope House is our official charity partner and I know they will appreciate the extra support from the team.

“It’s great to see a mix of abilities, from first-timers to experienced marathon runners, all on board to support this worthy cause.”

The run follows the success of other events held across the group, including a golf day organised by document management specialists EvaStore which raised £3,500 for the local charity.

Patrick Evans, managing director of Evans Enterprises, is glad to see employees taking part this year.

He said: “Our group of businesses are looking forward to taking part in Adrenaline Sports Oswestry 10k 2021, after a challenging period of time it’s great that our staff can participate and compete in this well organised event and at the same time raise funds for such a worthwhile local cause in Hope House. Best of luck to all our staff and the other runners.”
