Why Butterfly Run?
Cure EB funds medical research to find a cure for epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a severe genetic skin condition that leads to blistering and skin loss at the slightest friction. Children with the condition are often referred to as 'Butterfly Children' as their skin is said to be as 'fragile as a butterfly's wings'.
What Cure EB wants most is for children and adults to fly free from the pain of EB and make the blisters and wounds stop.
To find out more about them and the research they fund, visit www.cure-eb.org

To keep the kids entertained, we will have an egg and spoon race (free to enter), as well as balloon modellers and face painters.
The 5k and 10k races start together after the 1k race has finished. Please check the event organiser's website closer to the event date for race start times.
The 5k and 10k routes are relatively flat, with a few short inclines to the Event day logistics section.

-
5k and 1k: All ages are welcome!
Entry for the 1k fun run is per race number only; so if you are only running alongside your child to support them, you do not need to buy an additional entry.
