Help raise money at Run for the 96 event this weekend
There is still time to sign up for the Run for the 96 5K and raise money for the Liverpool FC Foundation.
The event, which will take place on Sunday May 22, is a new and accessible-for-all run in memory of the 96 fans who lost their lives in the Hillsborough tragedy.
The route will start and finish in Stanley Park, taking runners past both Anfield and Everton's Goodison Park.
Run for the 96 5K gives people the opportunity to get involved with a community-based initiative, encouraging first-time or new runners to take up the challenge.
The event is also likely to attract families and, of course, support from the city's red and blue football communities.
As well as running to remember the 96, participants are invited to fundraise for the Liverpool FC Foundation and Everton in the Community, the charitable arms of the city's two football clubs, to enable them to continue their fantastic work across Merseyside.
The charity element is a key part of the event's commitment to ensuring that local communities benefit from the legacy run. All funds raised or donated by those taking part are split equally between the two charities.
Andrea Cooper, head of the Liverpool FC Foundation, said: “All money raised will support the LFC Foundation's strategy of supporting young people's health and life chances through our programmes and partnerships.
“Last year, the LFC Foundation served over 20,000 people in Merseyside and across the world, through sporting participation and educational programmes such as Respect 4 All, which provides sporting activity for young people and adults with severe physical and neurological impairments.”
