Sports Silhouettes
Fylde’s leading citizen will be pushing for glory when he takes part in this month’s Sport Relief mile race.
The race will take place at Fairhaven Lake on Sunday 21 March – and Councillor Paul Rigby, Fylde mayor, will be pushing Councillor Patricia Fieldhouse, Fylde deputy mayor, in a wheelchair.
The civic duo will be leading a town hall team of eight volunteers.
A total of 150 runners are expected to run either one, three or six miles around the lake.
Claire Grant, Fylde Council’s sports development officer, said: “Paul and Patricia entered a few years ago. They didn’t win, but they did raise a lot of money for charity.
“The race aims to be good family fun that will get people fit while helping others.
“Fylde people have a great sense of fun and we’re looking forward to a great day.”
Activities at Fairhaven Lake on the day include a circus skills workshop.
Councillors Rigby and Fieldhouse can be sponsored at: www.mysportrelief.com/fyldemayoralteam or by telephoning Councillor Fieldhouse on 01253 735401.
Registration for the race is at noon and the race starts at 1pm.
