Lincoln 10K is alive with the sound of music

Crowds cheering on the Active Nation Lincoln 10K Road Race runners might find themselves serenaded by a group of male voice singers this year.

The group will perform a song every two kilometres, singing in four part harmonies whilst money in buckets and raising money for four different charities.

Simon Hollingworth, who manages the Lincoln Drill Hall, is one of the group, and he will be raising money for the Lincoln Arts Trust, which takes art into the community in Lincoln.

“We’ve been singing together for the past 20 years, since we were students at Bishop Grossteste College, so we decided to combine this with the Lincoln 10K to bring a bit more silliness to the event,” he said. “We’ll be singing four part harmonies – the Beatles, Elvis, that kind of thing – and we may even serenade some lucky people along the way!”

Around 2,800 places are still available for the Active Nation Lincoln 10K Road Race on Sunday 25th March, as well as for the primary and secondary school races and the Buggy Push on Saturday 24th March.
