BUDDING athletes from Worcestershire are being offered the chance to take on the challenge of a lifetime and run this year's London Marathon for Sense, the national deafblind charity.

The charity that supports and campaigns for people who are both deaf and blind across Worcestershire, has guaranteed places for the iconic race in April.

Tara Hamdi from Sense, said: “The London Marathon is one of the world’s greatest but getting a place can be difficult, so Sense wants to give local runners the chance to run for a cause close to home. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a novice we’ll support you every step of the way, from training and fundraising to the big day itself.”

If you would like to run for Sense, you can register online at sense.org.uk/londonmarathon, call the Marathon Hotline on 0300 330 9257 or email marathon@sense.org.uk.

The closing date is January 23.
