People are being encouraged to enter a charity fun run and raise money to help end child abuse, this weekend.

The Leader’s Fun Run, an idea first suggested by Waltham Forest council leader, Chris Robbins, will take place at Leyton Jubilee Park on Sunday (October 11).

There will be a 2km course and a 5km course with donations from spectators and runners to go to children's charity NSPCC, which is fighting to end all forms of child abuse in the United Kingdom.

Everyone is welcome and entrants can choose to walk the course rather than run or jog.

Under-16s are to be accompanied by an adult.

The event will be supported by Eton Manor Athletics Club, whose clubhouse is based in Leyton Jubilee Park with registration beginning at 10am.
