A best-ever 4,000 runners and spectators supporting a record 62 charities are expected at this year's Maccabi GB Community Fun Run on June 19.

As in recent years, the fun run will be at Allianz Park in north London, home to Saracens rugby team.

Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis will be the race starter for the 5k event, one of three options, along with the 10k and 1k. The more ambitious can tackle the "tri-run" of 16k, which combines the three distances.

New entrants include seven Jewish primary schools.
