Peterborough’s Great Eastern Run is taking place again on Sunday 15 October. Run, walk or skip round the half marathon or take part in the 5K Fun Run. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking for a challenge as well as raising funds for a good cause. You can take part on your own, with friends and family, or maybe participate in a group with work colleagues.
