A CHARITY fun run is being held next month to raise money for village causes.

The High Ongar 10k race route goes through the ancient market town of Chipping Ongar, along leafy lanes, past an historic airfield, and a 12th century Norman church.

Starting at High Ongar Village Hall, participants can register between 9am and 10.30am before setting off on the course at 11am, which was chosen last year as the Essex AAA 10k Championship Race.

Previous races have raised funds to help build the new High Ongar village hall, and this year will be used to benefit other charitable good causes in the village.
