THERE are plenty of events taking place over the four-day bank holiday weekend for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, and Dawlish Coasters are joining in the celebrations by holding fun runs on Thursday, June 2.

Two runs are planned, a children’s run at 1pm and an adults’ fancy dress run at 2pm. Children can sign up on the day itself while adults need to register online in advance at race-nation.co.uk/register/dawlish-coasters/platinum-jubilee-fun-run. Unaffiliated entry costs £6 and affiliated £4.

It’s a 3.5-mile run from Dawlish to Dawlish Warren and back amd everyone who completes the course will receive a special Jubilee medal.

A spokesman said: ‘As a part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, the town of Dawlish are putting on “Turn the Tide 2022” on The Lawn with a wide range of activities and entertainment for all and we’re delighted to have been invited to host some running fun.’
