ARSENAL have announced the exciting return of their “Be a Gunner, Be a Runner” event to help raise money for the Great Ormond Street children’s hospital.

Fans are being encouraged to show their support for the club’s chosen charity of the season by signing up for the fun run, which takes place at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday March 13.

Registration for the 10-lap 6.4 kilometre run around the outside of the Gunners’ home ground is now open, with keen participants being asked to raise at least £100 in sponsorship for one of the world’s leading children’s hospitals.

This year, there will also be a shorter run on the day for children aged 15 or under.
Arsenal defender Gael Clichy said: “I hope lots of supporters sign up for what looks to be a really fun day, and certainly a great fundraiser for Great Ormond Street Hospital.”

To enter, supporters should visit www.beagoonerbeagiver.org and register, which costs £15.
In return runners will receive a special edition T-shirt plus nutrition and equipment advice throughout the day.
