Fundraising keeps us running

Your goal to improve your fitness and run 10K is inspirational!

Those close to you are ready with encouraging words and a donation, so don’t miss the chance to use your story to fundraise for hospice care. 

Our goal: a bigger and better second year

We want to build on a great first event and inspire more fundraising - last year more than £18,000 was raised. So, by signing up today for £25 and supporting us through fundraising, you could make a huge difference.

In 2023, runners praised the event’s organisation, the event village, and the fantastic atmosphere provided by marshals, spectators and the drum thumping samba band. Expect all this for 2024! And as well as trophies for those competitive runners, we have sourced an exciting running themed prize for the top fundraiser.

Picturesque start and finish

Starting from Angel Hill, Bury St Edmunds, you will run through the iconic Abbey Gate, through the beautiful Abbey Gardens, and up to Moreton Hall. The event will partly be on closed roads but will then cross over at Mount Road onto footpaths.

At the 5K point, there will be a dedicated water stop. The course is undulating so please note there are hills. At Angel Hill, there will be an event village with music and stalls, with a fantastic atmosphere as you start the run and cross the finish line.
