Running enthusiasts will take to the streets of Abbots Langley tomorrow [Sunday, October 3], for the annual Tough Ten race.

The event, in its 28th year, will be opened by former Watford and England manager Graham Taylor.

Originally started to help raise money for MENCOP, a charity run by serving and retired police officers to help people with learning disabilities, it now helps local clubs, schools and charities.

Organisers of this year’s event expect more than 600 runners to take part and proceedings will start at the Manor House Grounds, Gallows Lane, Abbots Langley.

Races open to participants include family favourite the 1.5k at 9.30am, 3k and 5k runs at 10am, as well as the 10k event at 10.30am.

Entry is still open to all, but runners hoping to apply on the day are encouraged to leave plenty of time for registration at the Community Centre, in the High Street, Abbots Langley.

It is also possible to register online at www.runnersworld.co.uk.
