Chief organiser, Mervyn Ferris, has done a great job for the past six years of the event, encouraging local sportsmen and women along with family members to come out in support.
Top runners from the Springwell Running Club will be taking part and Coleraine FC manager, Oran Kearney, is just one of the leading sportsmen who will be attending to lend his support.
