The Great West Run - EDP Drug & Alcohol Services

The Great West Run

EDP has been selected as an official charity of the Great West Run’s 5km event taking place in Exeter on Sunday 6th May 2012. 

Whether you are a seasoned athlete, part-time jogger or completely new to running there is an event for you, and of course if you don’t want to run but are interested in helping out then there are a variety of ways you can get involved.

Runners

EDP can offer a reduced entry fee of £12 on the 5km run and for those of you who would like more of a challenge we also have a discounted charity rate of £27 for the Half Marathon.

As well as this, there is a family fun run that the GWR will release more details about soon.

Running for EDP means we will help you to raise sponsorship, provide you with training tips and details of warm up events between now and May, and be there to support you on the day. 

Volunteers

The Great West Run, like EDP, relies heavily on volunteers.  You would be required on the morning of Sunday 6th May either in central Exeter or at Exeter Arena to help with a number of different tasks from handing out vests to taking photos and supporting runners.  This is a big event and always fun to be involved in so if you feel you could spare some time please email gwr@edp.org.uk to register your interest.

If you have any questions, would like more information or for an EDP entry form please email gwr@edp.org.uk or call 01392 666716.  There is also lots of useful information about the Great West Run on their website (www.thegreatwestrun.co.uk).
