Knebworth House is playing host to a British Heart Foundation (BHF) at the end of February by opening up its idyllic grounds for a 5km and 10km sponsored jog. Whether you are a regular runner, a first timer or just want a family day out with the kids come along and support the charity by walking, jogging or running the stunning 5km cross country course once or twice.
Now in its fifth successful year, the Knebworth House Jog attracted 900 registrations last year. Check out last year’s event on You Tube.
The BHF is the nation’s heart charity, dedicated to saving lives through pioneering research, patient care, campaigning for change and by providing vital equipment and information. All sponsorship money goes towards helping the BHF save lives and if you raise over £50 you get entered into a free prize draw to win a Nintendo Wii!

9.30am: Registration and entertainment
