Hospice Run 2021

An overview of the event

Starting at 9:35 am from the Lower Cricket Ground, our 10K and 5K routes take you through scenic Tunbridge Wells along roads closed especially for the run. Our dedicated staff and volunteers will line the route and guide you safely back to the finish line where we will be waiting to celebrate your success.

We will be there to support you every step of the way with professional training plans and dedicated fundraising support to help you reach your goals and raise money. Every pound you raise helps local patients and families. Any children under the age of 16 years need to be accompanied by an adult.

Hear from one of our runners, Annie who is running 500k in 2021 in memory of her husband Matthew and joining Hospice Run 2021

“My husband Matt died in 2016 aged 35 from bowel cancer. He spent his final weeks in the hospice and I really don’t know how we would have coped without you. After he died I came to you for bereavement counselling and my children came to your drop-in Saturday sessions.

I’ve run on and off for a few years but started running regularly at the start of the first lockdown, as an excuse to get out of the house! At the end of 2020, I ran the virtual length of Hadrian’s Wall and then decided to set myself a bigger challenge of 500k over 2021, to mark 5 years since Matt died. I’ve signed up for the Hospice 10k in September, which will be my first 10k. I ran your 5k race in 2019.”
