Chamber backing for road run
The Black Country Chamber of Commerce is supporting The Black Country Road Run, which will be taking place on July 1 in Halesowen.
It is co-ordinated by Halesowen and Rowley Regis Rotary Club and new for this year is a corporate challenge.
The chamber is encouraging local businesses to get involved to support their social impact strategy for 2018.
Businesses can participate in either a 10km run or fun run.
Corin Crane, chamber chief executive, said:: “We're very excited to be partnering with The Black Country Road Run and Halesowen and Rowley Regis Rotary Club and we look forward to supporting the event. We encourage all of our members and the local business community to get involved in this popular road race, and help to raise money and awareness for your chosen charities.”
Alan Bowler, event organiser of the Black Country Road Run, added: “ This will be the seventh year for The Black Country Run and for the first time we are holding the new corporate cChallenge. We are challenging Black Country businesses to enter teams of five runners into either the 10km road race or the family fun run and take part in this competitive team building experience. The main aim of the corporate challenge is of course for companies to raise as much money as possible for their chosen charity.”
The event is open to all abilities. For more information visit www.theblackcountryrun.com/corporate-challenge
