WILLIAMS Rochdale BMW has renewed its support for Rochdale Half Marathon, 10K and Fun Run, after signing a new three-year deal which sees the company confirmed as title sponsor of the event until 2021.
The announcement comes just weeks after registrations opened for the popular event, which is being staged on Sunday 6 October this year. Runners will again start by Rochdale Town Hall and set out on traffic-free courses taking in town and countryside, including a stunning section around Hollingworth Lake – one of the north wests’ most-popular beauty spots.
John Connor, head of business at Williams Rochdale, BMW said: “As a family-run business we’re always keen to support the local community and this growing event continues to go from strength to strength. Most importantly, it also helps raise money for some fantastic charities, including over £12,500 for Springhill Hospice last year alone. We are proud for Williams Rochdale to be the title sponsor for 2019-2021 and look forward to showcasing our innovative class leading BMW vehicles to everyone involved.”
Entry for the half marathon has been reduced by £7 and there’s £4 off the 10K for all ‘early bird’ entries received by 31 March. You can enter online or find out more at www.rochdale.gov.uk/run . Fun Run entry opens in July.
