Leah's Royal Wedding Fun Run

On Friday 29th April Peterhead Jogscotland are organising a 1, 3 and 5km Walk, Jog or Fun Run in aid of the Leah Ligertwood Appeal "Walk to the Future". Peterhead Jogscotland leaders are backing the appeal to raise £40, 000 to send to Leah to the USA for her operation, and are hoping the 100s of Adults and children will turn and support this fun event, which will also commemorate the Royal Wedding which takes place on the same day. Registration takes place at Peterhead Football Club from 4.30 pm to 5.45 pm, and the event will start at 6pm. Children Under Age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult, however the 1km will take place on the Running Track at Catto Park. As a result children will be allowed to walk, jog or run on their own as long as an adult is in close attendance to supervisor their child during and after the run. Children under 10 will only be permitted to complete the 1km, 10-14 years old can take part in the 3 km but must be supervised at all times during the walk, jog or run. The 3 and 5 km will be around the perimeter of Catto Drive and Balmoor Terrace, its hoped that many members of the public will also come along and support this event whilst making a donation to the appeal at the same time. As the event commemorates the Royal Wedding, prizes will be given out for the best dressed Bride and Groom, there will also be a fancy hat/tiara and tie competition just before the event starts and spot prizes will be awarded, and their will also be face painting and a bouncy castle/s for the children. All those taking part in Leah's Royal Fun Walk, Jog or Run will be given a commemorative Royal Wedding Medal. Teas & Coffees (donation only), bottle stall and raffles will be available upstairs at the Football Club from 6.15 pm to 7.30 pm. At 8.30 pm a "Royal" Celebration Disco will then take place in the Football Club - glad rags compulsory!!.
