Lodders keeps on running for Stratford 10k race

Midlands law firm Lodders is setting a personal best for its fundraising support as it confirms it is to sponsor the Stratford upon Avon Big 10k race for the sixth consecutive year.

The Big 10k will take place on Sunday 13th September and organisers expect around 1,500 runners will take part.

Charity partner of the Stratford 10k this year is Shipston Nursing Home, which was founded in 1997. It is run by a team of qualified nurses specialising in palliative care who look after terminally ill people in their homes across rural South Warwickshire.

Not only is Lodders providing vital financial support for the Big 10k event, it is also fielding a team of runners from its Stratford office, which will be led by Steven Baker, partner in the firm’s real estate team, who said:

“Fourteen members of staff took part in the Big 10k in 2014, and our target is to beat this number this September.

“The Big 10k is an important feature of Stratford’s annual events calendar, and Lodders is delighted to take a lead role once again in 2015 as a main sponsor of the event,” he added.

“Team Lodders will be represented both on and off the field, with many staff taking on the very important role of refreshments providers, handing out water and bananas, as well as T-shirts, as runners cross the finishing line.”

The 10k course will follow the same route as in 2014 – it will start at Stratford Recreation Ground at 9.30am, from where runners can take-in some of Stratford’s most picturesque countryside and landmarks, including crossing the River Avon.

Rob Minton, Race Director for Stratford’s Big 10K, from Tempo Events added: “At Tempo we’re really thrilled that Lodders is continuing its ‘special relationship’ with Stratford’s Big 10k for yet another year. We will be pulling out all the stops to help make it a fantastic experience for all the runners coming to complete the race in September.” Stratford 10k is run by Tempo Events; for more information go to: http://www.tempoevents.co.uk/running/stratfords-big-10k/stratfords-big-10k.php
