THE British Heart Foundation (BHF) is organising its first Half Marathon at Harewood House.

Entries are now closed having reached the capacity of 1,000 runners . The event takes place on Sunday, February 8.

The participants, including heart patients, families, friends and colleagues will take on the Half Marathon in the fight against coronary heart disease – the UK’s single biggest killer. The BHF hopes to raise £70,000 from the Half Marathon to help fund essential research which could create a better future for so many.
