PAISLEY’S 10k and Fun Run is on course for a record entry this year,

Already, more than double the amount of people have signed up compared to the same point in 2016.

The races take place through the streets of Paisley on Sunday, August 20, and by the end of May, 1,911 people had signed up for the 10k and Fun Run, compared to 885 last year.

One local youth football club, Renfrew FC, has more than 200 members signed up for the Fun Run as they bid to raise cash for club funds through sponsorship for completing the course.

Joyce McKellar is chief executive of Renfrewshire Leisure, which along with Renfrewshire Council, is organising the events.

She said: “This year’s Paisley 10k and Fun Run is shaping up to be the best ever.”

You can register for the race by logging on to renfrewshireleisure.com or by calling 0300 300 1362 or picking up an entry form from any Renfrewshire Leisure venue.
