Registration is now open for our 10K run at the home of Downton Abbey

17 September 2012

We were excited to see ITV1's award winning TV series Downton Abbey back on our screens last night.

I'm looking forward to the run and having the buzz of completing the 10K with family and friends cheering me on will be worth all the training.

We're also looking forward to our 10K running event in the grounds of Highclere Castle in Berkshire, where Downton Abbey is set, on Sunday 28 April 2013.

Whether you fancy a fun run, have just started training, or are a club runner looking for a personal best, Run Highclere is a fantastic way to keep fit and raise valuable funds for us at the same time.

Suzanne said: "I'm running for my husband Matt who was diagnosed with young onset Parkinson's in August 2003.

"Parkinson's UK funds research and supports people with Parkinson's and their families which are all a vital part of helping and giving hope.

"I'm looking forward to the run and having the buzz of completing the 10K with family and friends cheering me on will be worth all the training."

Get involved

"Clare Chater, our Head of Events, said: "Watching the first episode of the new series of Downton Abbey last night has built up the excitement, and we're really looking forward to hosting Run Highclere next year."

"Registration is now open so sign up and help us find a cure, and improve the lives of the 127,000 people in the UK who are living with Parkinson's."

Run Highclere is a flat road run and is licensed by UK Athletics (UKA). All of our runners will receive their own official race finish time - which is recorded using chip technology - an exclusive souvenir t-shirt and a finisher's medal.
