Wythall and Hollywood Fun Run returns as a full family day out

Organisers are preparing for the Wythall and Hollywood Fun Run, set for Sunday, June 7, and promising a full family day with the 5k, 10k, and Families on Track races. The event includes free taster sessions with Wythall Tennis Club, Redhill Archers, and Wythall Community Association Bowling, inviting newcomers to try new activities. Younger visitors can enjoy a bouncy castle, while community groups will showcase their work and a 4x4 response vehicle will be demonstrated by Community First Responders, who will also offer CPR lessons. Severn Area Rescue Association and local police will provide demonstrations and information throughout the day.

When attendees need sustenance, there will be a range of food stalls including Tidbury Green Scouts barbecue, Pearls of Wythall cakes, Slice and Easy pizza, and a licensed bar at Wythall Park. Bookings close at midnight on Wednesday, June 3, so participants should secure their place soon; organizers also note group bookings and accessibility requests on the site.

Local charities and clubs will also be present to engage families and sign up young runners on the day.
