Join us for the Hospice Run, marking two decades of community support and celebration on Sunday, September 20th at 9:30 AM. Located in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, this beloved South East race offers a half marathon, 10k, and 5k route through undulating roads that are temporarily closed to traffic. For the past twenty years, Hospice Run has brought together runners of all ages and abilities for an inspiring day out. The event is renowned for its family-friendly atmosphere and accessible routes designed to cater to both seasoned athletes and beginners alike. Participants will enjoy a vibrant community vibe with live drumming bands adding energy and excitement throughout the course. In addition to challenging yourself on closed roads, you'll also be supporting Hospice in the Weald, which provides essential care for those facing terminal illnesses and their loved ones. Each entrant is encouraged to raise £100 through fundraising efforts; this amount can fund three hours of specialist nursing or two hours of counseling from a Clinical Nurse Specialist. The event features comprehensive amenities such as chip-timed results, finisher medals, training resources provided beforehand, and an engaging village area filled with activities. With its unique blend of athletic competition and charitable giving, the Hospice Run offers runners not just a race but also a meaningful way to contribute to their community. For detailed route maps and further information about entry fees, visit our official 2026 race page closer to the event date. Early registration is recommended as spaces are limited. All participants will receive comprehensive updates via email in advance of the big day, ensuring everyone is well-prepared for this milestone celebration.
