The family of murder victim Moira Jones will celebrate her life by staging a charity run in the park where she was killed.

Hundreds of runners will take part in the 5k event in Queen's Park, Glasgow on Sunday October 28.

This year's race comes just months after the 10th anniversary of the sales executive's murder.

Moira's killer, Marek Harcar, was later jailed for life after a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.

In the months that followed, her parents, Bea and Hu, and brother Grant set up a charity to help people bereaved through violence.

Since then The Moira Fund has provided more than £200,000 of grants to over 900 families across the UK.

The donations are designed to cover everything from funeral costs to respite breaks.

Grant Jones said: "To me Moira's run is an incredibly positive event, with a wonderful atmosphere where people come together to run and have fun in Moira's name.

"I personally feel that the run brings out the best in people with smiles all round, just like Moira did.

"The warmth and spirit of the Glasgow folk on the day is fantastic and reaffirms to me why Moira loved the city and made it her home."

More than 300 people took part in the first Moira Run in 2014 and since then the event has grown to become a regular fixture in the city's running calendar.

Moira, 40, had lived in Glasgow for five years but was originally from Weston in Staffordshire.

On May 28, 2008 the businesswoman was returning to her flat on Queen's Drive, around 11:30pm, when she was abducted by Harcar.

Moira was then forced into Queen's Park where she was raped and beaten to death.

The Slovakian national was jailed for life and ordered to spend a minimum of 25 years behind bars.

Since it was launched in 2009 the charity has campaigned for greater support for victims' families.

And in April Moira's mother Bea welcomed a £13.8m Scottish Government grant to Victim Support Scotland.

Some of the money will be used to provided relatives of murder victims with a dedicated case worker.

The family will also draw comfort from the hundreds of runners, volunteers and spectators who will gather in Queen's Park later this month.

Places are still available for the event, which starts at 10:30, and participants can sign up through the Moira Fund website.

Grant said: "With the increased attention and coverage that a 10th anniversary brings, it's been impossible not to go back to all the awful circumstances of Moira's murder, every aspect of what went on.

"You go through it all again.

"I know we can never escape from what happened but there are definitely times when it is worse than other times.

"So Moira's Run, with the all the good it brings to us and to The Moira Fund, gives us something really positive to look forward to."
