Local efforts are being coordinated by familiar face on the athletics scene, Alun Williams – who along with runners Sarah Mercier, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Usain Bolt – is encouraging runners of all abilities to take part.

Runners from 200 countries are taking part and the idea is everyone runs at least 3km, tracked on a smart device, which is added to your own countries’ total. The more 3km runs you complete, the more points your country gets.
The Running World Cup starts on Thursday 5 March, and a launch run is being held during the morning, from 07:40, starting at the EY offices on St Julian’s Avenue.
The group will be running to the bathing pools and back, leaving at 07:40 and aiming to be back by 08:30.
