Young entrants at this year’s Baxters Festival of Running are being offered a huge incentive to go the extra mile in fundraising.

Highland Hospice is to give any child raising over £50 in the Wee Nessie pre-school or River Ness 5K race free entry to a prize draw.

The lucky winner will scoop £1,000 to spend in Smyths Toy Superstore.

On top of that, the highest fundraiser for the charity will receive a £1,000 Smyths voucher.

Fundraiser Carrie Macdonald said: “This prize truly is every child or young person’s dream, and we hope that it entices many to put on their trainers and run in support of the Hospice later this month.

“The odds of winning are high!

“The atmosphere at Baxters is incredible every year, and participating in this fabulous event results in a real sense of achievement and excitement whatever your age or ability.”

Children are being urged to sign up for the event by registering here at https://lochnessmarathon.com/ and then clicking here at https://justgiving.com/campaign/teamhh5k to begin fundraising.

Carrie added: “It will be amazing to see all the youngsters in their yellow Highland Hospice t-shirts on the day, and we can’t wait to deliver these vouchers to our two lucky winners, who are going to be extremely happy!”
