Everything you need to know about Louth Run for Life

This year organisers are pushing to hit £1 million and are inviting everyone to take part – whether they are seasoned runners or just want to walk or jog. The scenic route through Louth town centre and the stunning Hubbard’s Hills offers something for all abilities, organisers say. Fancy dress is encouraged to create a fun event.

Although online registration has now closed, entry forms are available at various locations across town. Simply fill out a form and drop it off with payment at the address listed on the form.
