Run For Your Life : Staines-upon-Thames
Saturn Running presents a themed event held in honour of the book Run For Your Life, with a section of the book set at Jupiter Running in Staines. The book's author will attend as guest of honour and there will be a raffle of some copies on the day. The event accepts runners and walkers.
