Arsenal Football Club’s annual charity fun run, Be a Gunner. Be a Runner, returns in two weeks, giving supporters and keen runners worldwide the chance to get fit while raising funds for The Arsenal Foundation.
The flagship event, which will take place on on Saturday, April 11, will see runners of all ages complete laps of Emirates Stadium.
Runners aged 15 and over will be eligible to enter the 10-lap (6.4km) event, with those aged 14 and under taking part in a shorter, one or two-lap race.
Entry to the event costs £15 for adults (aged 15 and over) and £5 for juniors (aged 14 and under), with all money raised going to the Arsenal Foundation.
Due to the limited number of spaces available, adult runners are also encouraged to raise a minimum of £150 in sponsorship. Any runner that manages to raise over £500 for the charity will be deemed a ‘Top Gunner’ and will receive a unique prize as a thank you.

As well as the Emirates Stadium event, Arsenal supporters around the world are being encouraged to take part in their own Be a Gunner. Be a Runner events wherever they are.
Runners from across Europe, Asia, Africa and the United States have already registered their interest in taking part this year.
Non UK-based supporters that want to get involved can do so by devising their own 6.4km running route and emailing the details to bagbar@arsenal.co.uk. All successful applicants will receive a unique race number to wear with pride on the day.
Overseas runners are also encouraged to raise money for The Arsenal Foundation, with a special prize on offer for the individual or group that raises the highest amount.
All proceeds from Be a Gunner. Be a Runner 2015 will go towards The Arsenal Foundation, supporting projects that transform the lives of young people in the UK and overseas. The Foundation has so far committed more than £1million to projects, benefitting in excess of 100,000 people. Click here for further information.
