Bristol race on 20 July 2008
Leeds race on 29 June 2008
Sense is calling for runners and walkers of all abilities across the UK to take part in a unique race that’s set to challenge your senses of sight and hearing.
Based on a winning formula that has enjoyed huge success in the US, Vision 5K is new to the running circuit and will take place across the UK over the summer months.
The 5km race is open to all runners and is also suitable for families. Where it becomes unique is for at least one lap of the race runners can choose to undertake one lap blindfolded while being led by a non-blindfolded partner.
We hope runners of all ages will join in the fun and we are actively encouraging people with sight and hearing impairments to also take part.
