BARNSLEY Council is encouraging locals to sign up to the Barnsley 10k race later this year - and there are fewer than 1,000 entries remaining.

The race will take place on Sunday, June 29 after returning last year.

A council spokesperson said: “Last year’s event was a great day which helped to raise thousands for so many worthy charities, and it would be fantastic to see even more people taking part.

“So whether you’ve taken up running as a resolution for the new year or have been a keen runner for a while, sign up today at racebest.com/races/2uakk.”
