MORE than 1,000 people have already signed up for next weekend's Bubble Rush fun run at Lydiard Park.

It is hoped the soap sud-fuelled jog around the historic Swindon park will raise thousands for Great Western Hospital charity Brighter Futures.

The The 5k course will see runners pelted with coloured foam bubbles.

Michelle Leighton of Brighter Futures said: “We still have tickets left for the Bubble Rush so please do come along. It’s set to be a great day of fun for all the family.

“Every penny raised goes towards enhancing the care provided at Great Western Hospital. We are thrilled that Extreme Adventure Ltd have chosen Swindon, and Brighter Futures, as the location and charity of this event.”

Tickets for Swindon Bubble Rush can be bought online until Thursday, June 13. Adults: £20. Children: £10 (aged three to 15). Family (two adults, two children): £12.75 per person. The race will be held on Saturday, June 15.
