Little Laps

for Kids' Village

Calling all families!

Be the Pride of Lichfield

Little Laps is the most magnificent, mischievous, not-quite-a-run run in the whole of Staffordshire. In fact, it's the funnest fun run you'll ever do, and it's right in the heart of Lichfield.

All to raise money for the rather wonderful Kids' Village – a truly special place that helps children who are very, very ill feel a little magical for just a while.

So, bring your lion cubs down to beautiful Stowe Pool on Saturday 19th September & join the pride for a gloriously silly time together – run it, walk it, hop it, skip it, jump it – do it at your pace, your way.
