Organisers said any ‘non-motorised’ transport is welcomed including cycling and roller blading.
Co-ordinator Peter Heywood said: “Because people don’t necessarily have to run it means the event has a wide appeal and we are confidently expecting to top last year’s figures of 1,200 entrants and £20,000 raised for charity.
“Both serious runners and families alike can enjoy a jaunt through glorious country lanes in complete safety on roads closed to traffic.”
Local entertainer Malcolm Stent will begin the races at St Philips Church in Manor Road.
Revellers will be able to enjoy a summer fair afterwards including stalls and a live jazz band.
Prizes will be awarded for best fancy dress, the youngest and oldest finishers and the fastest male and female runners over the eight mile course.
All funds raised will go to Troop Aid and Marie Curie.
