GENERAL INFORMATION

The ‘Didsbury Fun Run’ is being organised by members of Didsbury Baptist Church. The aim of the Run is to raise money for the church’s project to build a Community Centre in Didsbury and also for our partner charity, Francis House.

General Description

The Run will begin at 10:00am so please arrive in good time to sign-in (or register) at the Old Bedians Rugby Club, Millgate Lane, Didsbury, Manchester M20 5QX where parking, changing and refreshments facilities will be available.

- Millgate Lane is at the south end of Parrs Wood Road (do not turn left into Tuscan Road)

- Parking at the Old Bedians is good but is not unlimited. If you can share a car, that will help.
