A NORTH Herefordshire school has been unveiled as the main sponsor of a popular children's race at Ludlow Castle.

Lucton School has signed a three-year deal with Storm The Castle to sponsor the junior races which were held for the first time last year.

Junior Storm brings together hundreds of schoolchildren from local communities in the area, encouraging them to develop their fitness through participation in races with a friendly competitive edge.

All children finishing the races on April 17 will receive a medal, while the organisers are also offering a trophy for the best attended school.
