Inspector Morse author Colin Dexter is urging people to sign up to take part in the Hearts First Blenheim 10k Bolt.

The race, which takes place at Blenheim Palace on Sunday, is in aid of the British Heart Foundation.

Mr Dexter said: "Heart disease can affect everyone. Sadly, every two minutes someone in the UK has a heart attack and there are more than 2.6 million people now living with coronary heart disease - a long-term condition.

"We need as many people as possible to join in this fun event. You don't have to be super fit to take part, you can walk it, jog it or crawl it so long as you do it.

"You'll be doing your own heart a favour while helping the British Heart Foundation to keep vulnerable hearts beating across Oxfordshire."

Registering in advance costs £8 for adults, £5 for under 16s and £25 for a family.
