Bridget Evans, chief executive of Whirlow Hall Farm Trust, said: "You will be that little bit fitter and healthier for having taken part and, if you book in advance, you get free entry to the Farm Fayre thrown in too.

"That means you can afford to buy lots of goodies in the farmers' market to replace all those calories you run off."
