Specialist online running community The Running Bug (www.therunningbug.co.uk) is
to partner Mencap to launch the Mencap Running Series.

 

This provides Mencap with advertising and editorial exposure in one of the UK’s 
fastest growing running communities with the opportunity to attract more runners
and sponsors for forthcoming running events such as the London Marathon.

Bug Joe Mountain said “Some of our members have already chosen to run for Mencap
