Hospice Run

Description

​Imagine lacing up your running shoes on a crisp September morning, the anticipation buzzing in the air as you join a vibrant community of runners at the Lower Common Cricket Ground in Tunbridge Wells. The Hospice Run isn't just a race—it's a celebration of life, community, and the collective spirit of giving back. 

As you set off on one of the best closed-road routes in the South East, you'll find yourself immersed in the scenic beauty of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Whether you choose the classic 5K or 10K courses, you'll pass by local landmarks like the Spa Valley Railway Line and The High Rocks, each step echoing with the rhythm of a live drumming band that fuels your stride. For those seeking a greater challenge, the newly introduced half marathon offers an undulating journey, weaving through varied terrains before rejoining Castle Road towards a triumphant finish.

Families aren't left out of this inspiring event. The Family Fun Run, themed "Hospice Heroes", invites children to don their favorite hero costumes, adding a splash of color and joy as they navigate a playful course around Wellington Rocks, dodging water obstacles and creating memories that will last a lifetime. 

But beyond the personal achievements and the exhilaration of crossing the finish line lies a deeper purpose. Every stride taken and every pound raised directly supports Hospice in the Weald, providing compassionate care for individuals at the end of their lives in Kent and East Sussex. Your participation becomes part of a larger narrative of hope, care, and community support.

Your entry includes chip-timed results, a bespoke finisher's medal, tailored training plans, and the unparalleled experience of running amidst a community united for a cause. The atmosphere is electric, the camaraderie palpable, and the impact—immeasurable.

Whether you're a seasoned runner chasing a personal best, a family seeking a fun-filled day, or someone inspired to make a difference, the Hospice Run offers an experience that transcends the ordinary.
