Presenter Welcome to Fox FM local news! This morning we have in the studio

events next weekend. Hello, Bob. So, what is the next event in the Kingsbridge
summer calendar?
Bob Well, you need your trainers for our next event – the Kingsbridge ten
kilometre race and the family fun run! There are races for everybody. Run fast,
run slow, run for fun, run for a medal, run for charity. Just come down and run!
Presenter Sounds good. When are these races, Bob?
Bob There are three races, and they start in the town centre on Saturday 16th July.
Presenter What time do the races start?
Bob The first race starts at 9 a.m. It’s the Kingsbridge ten kilometre run. This is
the race for athletes and for anyone who is a regular runner.
Presenter When does the next run start?
Bob The family fun run begins at 9.15. It’s three kilometres long and it’s for
everybody: parents, grandparents, older children, friends. You all run together
and there is a medal for everyone at the finish!
Presenter It does sound fun! What’s the third race?
Bob This is the young children’s race and it’s at 9.30. It’s 500 metres long and it’s
for children aged ten and under. All the children get a prize at the end of the race.
Presenter That sounds great for children. Is there any other information on the
races, Bob?

finish line! The first three men and the first three women win prizes. Everyone
else gets a medal for finishing the race.
