FAMILIES can still sign up for a charity fun run through the grounds of Blenheim Palace tomorrow as part of a half-marathon event.

More than 4,000 people will take part in the British Heart Foundation (BHF) Blenheim Palace Half Marathon, which will also include a 10km race and family fun run.

It is expected to raise £220,000 for the BHF towards research into heart disease.

There are no places left for the half marathon and 10km race, but anyone can still register for the 2km family fun run on the day from 8am.

A warm-up will begin at 9.50am, before runners taking part in the half marathon set off from the Great Court at 10.30am.

It will be followed by a half marathon for wheelchair users 20 minutes later, and the 10km at 11am.

The family fun run, for all ages, starts at 1pm and is expected to end by 4pm.

Water will be available at the start and finish, as well as at throughout the route.

The family fun run costs £10 for adults and £5 for children.
