Katie Baxter, community and events manager at Rainbows, Loughborough, said: “This year we have new and exciting challenges for walkers, runners, cyclists and swimmers.

“Some are a lot tougher than others and people will need time to train, so we would encourage them to sign up as soon as possible.”
