The St Vincent de Paul Running Group (SVPRG) are planning a series of activities to commemorate their 10th anniversary.

The main events will be a 5km road race, open to all runners, and a 1km fun run. The theme of the activities, to be held on October 1, is ‘A decade on the run’.

All proceeds will go to the Community Chest Fund.

The races will also coincide with the Day of the Elderly and the feast of St Vincent de Paul.

The 1km run will be held around the residence’s ring road and the 5km race will follow a route in the vicinity of St Vincent de Paul.

A prize fund of €220 will be shared among the first three runners in the men’s and women’s categories. Trophies, T-shirts, medals and goody bags will also be given to participants.

In a statement, SVPRG thanked their sponsors for their vital support, especially APS Bank. Free bottles of Kristal Water will be given to the participants at the end of the race.

Applications can be collected from the Security Main Gate Office of the St Vincent de Paul Residence, Full Marks Sporting (Fgura), Wally Galea’s souvenirs shop (Valletta), Cupid Hair Studio (Birżebbuġa) and Sports Experience (Attard).

One may also apply through the website www.svpathletics.org or by calling on 7904-6349 or 7995-6799.
