ENTRIES for the 21st running of the ever-popular B&Q Eastleigh 10k Road Race have closed - three weeks ahead of the official deadline.

The race will be held around the streets of Eastleigh on Sunday, March 13 (2.30pm), starting and finishing around Fleming Park Leisure Centre.

The junior 2k fun run for under-12s still has spaces available, but entries will NOT be taken on the day.

Applications must be made in advance through Eastleigh Borough Council Leisure Services.

In the 20 years since the 10k race was born, the mayor of Eastleigh's charities have benefited by about £60,000.
