*SAVE THE DATE*

Our annual Marymass 10km Race will this year take place on 20th of August at 7pm. Due to construction/road works, this year we have a brand NEW route (!!!) which will include a mix of road & trail.

One thing that will stay the same this year however is your free Vanilla Joes ice cream at the end, because why would we ever change that part?

Stay tuned for further updates for when entries open!

The book:
