Mindbogglingly 1 in 45 adults in the UK have entered the ballot for the London Marathon next year.

Running is in its golden era and following the theme of this week can be a great benefit for your mental health.

But you do not need to head to London to get your fix of running with a great community, here in Manor we are lucky to have the Parkrun at Woodbank at 9 am every Saturday. Parkrun welcomes walkers and runners of all abilities and is a brilliant community all run by volunteers.

Information on Parkrun and how you can use it to improve your mental health.
