With little over a week to go until the second Lexus Croydon 10k of the year, it looks like more than 1,000 runners will pack the start line in Lloyd Park Avenue.

With more than 500 entrants already registered the lure of this ever-growing and popular race will undoubtedly bring many more running enthusiasts and fun runners out on Sunday, April 9, especially with many wanting to test their fitness for the Flora London Marathon two weeks later.

All runners will benefit from the presence of The Wolfe Clinic Group, which will conduct a pre-race warm up but offer invaluable post-race massages.

After its success last October there will also be a 3k fun run for children aged nine-14 starting simultaneously with the main race at 10.15am.

You can enter the race online at www.croydon10k.com which is £2 cheaper than doing so on the day.
