80s Retro Run 2017
18 March 2017
Same great run ... with lots more fun!
In 2017 we celebrate 30 years of delivering life changing services to older people in Exeter. As art of our celebrations we've decided to turn back the clock to 1987. The 2017 event will be a 1980s Retro Run!
Once again Age UK Exeter bring you the only 10k run to start in Exeter City Centre. The route takes runners up the High Street, onto Sidwell street where runners will turn back and then continue to Paris Street, Western Way and on to the Exeter Quayside. From here a beautiful and flat stretch along rivers and canals finishing at the Piazza Terracina. This race will suit regular runners and beginners due to the relatively flat terrain. This race is raising funds for local charity Age UK Exeter. All monies raised support older people across Exeter.
