THE HIGHLY anticipated Dorset Neon Run, in aid of Diverse Abilities, is continuing partnerships with The Kitchen and Nick de Souza from Big Night Out, as part of the event returning to Poole Park on April 25.

The Kitchen, based in Poole Park, will continue to host the neon night’s registration facilities and prepare a variety of refreshments available to purchase throughout.

Big Night Out's Nick de Souza, will provide the sound and lighting equipment to help create the atmosphere on the night.

Events Manager at Diverse Abilities, Karen Hay said: "The Dorset Neon Run is a fantastic feel good event that allows people of all paces to take part in a 5k. Our corporate partners are so valuable in helping us bring everything together and provide an evening that everyone is sure to enjoy."

With this favoured fundraiser returning for its fourth continuous year, many regular participants are excited for the luminous event.

Elaine Day from Poole has participated in Neon Run every year since its inception.

She said: "I’m super excited to be taking part in the Dorset Neon Run again this year. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the fact that we’re all raising money for a very worthwhile charity is a bonus.

"If anyone is thinking of coming along and concerned about their level of fitness or not wanting to participate on their own, my advice would be to join in!"

Entries are open now, with early bird prices available until March 5.
