A NEW monthly 10K event is being launched by the National Trust at Hanbury Hall, near Droitwich.

The first Trust10 - which is a free event - will take place at 9am on Sunday, September 25 and then on the fourth Sunday of each month.

Runners are invited to enjoy a route through the hall's beautiful parkland, in a bid by the National Trust to encourage people to get outdoors and exercise.

Sian Goodman, visitor experience manager at Hanbury Hall, said: "We’re really excited to be taking on the Trust10 here at Hanbury Hall; it will be a great opportunity for people to have a regular goal each month, as well as a chance to explore this special place.

"We want as many people to enjoy this new trail as possible, so as well as hosting the Trust10 each month, the route itself will be open to all runners throughout the year for free."

Although this will be the first of its kind hosted by Hanbury Hall, the National Trust have a number of Trust10’s already underway across the country, offering all who take part the chance to explore their places for free.
