Ice cream support for Rennie Grove Hospice Care Herts 10K
In a bid to encourage people to sign up and run the Herts 10K race this October, Verdi’s Italian restaurant in Clarence Park St Albans has teamed up with race organisers to rename their popular Rum and Raisin ice cream to RUN AND RAISESOME! The Herts 10K is the flagship fundraising event for Rennie Grove Hospice Care and organisers are going all out to make this year the biggest event to date. Posters and signage on the ice cream cart in the park and in-store on the menus will alert shoppers to the newly named flavour; whilst QR codes take them directly to the online sign-up page. The Herts 10K 2022 takes place on Sunday 9 October 2022.
