For anyone who enjoys running, from gentle family parkruns to serious marathon competition, Volvo's model range provides ideal transport. Its latest, multi-award-winning SUVs and estate cars in particular are perfectly equipped to tackle all roads, from city streets to wilder terrain, while providing plenty of space to carry all the kit required. There's also a wide range of special accessories to suit all kinds of outdoor pursuits, from specially designed cycle carriers and spacious roof boxes to tough load compartment liners when bulky, wet or dirty equipment needs to be stowed. The first RunFestRun will take place from 31 May to 2 June 2019 at Bowood House and Gardens in Wiltshire. Clubs, friends, families and individuals will be able to enjoy the pleasure of running, with a series of events to suit all abilities – first-timers and experienced runners alike – including 2.5k, 5k and 10k routes, and a half marathon. The entertainment programme will include lively presentations on sports, health, fitness and wellbeing by a host of experts, including some of Britain's best-known athletes.
