A fun run takes place on the weekend of the Bournemouth Air Festival in memory of Red Arrows pilot Jon Egging .
Runner Ade Holloway has teamed up with Parley Golf Centre for the eight-mile ‘Jet 8 Race’, which takes place at 10.30am on Sunday, September 2. Runners, many of whom will be dressed in red, will follow a picturesque route down the first fairway, past Throop Mill and the River Stour in Parley, and back past Parley Manor. Money raised will go to the Jon Egging Trust, the charity set up in memory of the Red Arrows’ pilot who lost his life at last year’s air festival.
Admission to the run is £14 for club-affiliated runners or £16 for individuals and runners are also asked to raise funds through sponsorship.
Dawn Egging, Jon’s mother and a member of the Trust said: “We are very grateful to Ade for holding this event on behalf of The Jon Egging Trust.”
