The excited Owen said to be back out running these races is beneficial for everyone.
“As Kearsney Striders, we contribute to our local communities with funds raised by the event. Our beneficiaries include the Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust, the Rotary Club of Hillcrest, Highway Hospice and schools in the valley,” he said.
Owen urged runners to sign up for the race.
