Coastline taken over by charity runners at Littlehampton

Participants of all ages and abilites were registered for the 13th annual event along the Sussex coastline from 9.30-11.30am.

The popular event, which attracts participants from across the South East and further afield, is one of the charity’s biggest events and last year saw £45,000 raised for the children’s hospice.

Chestnut Tree House, based near Arundel, relies heavily on community support as it receives less than seven per cent central government funding towards its £3.5 million yearly running costs.

Speaking before the event, events fundraiser from Chestnut Tree House, Nicky Ifould said: “We love hosting the 10k and it really is a great day for everyone involved.

“Every penny raised goes to helping us continue our work and we are truly grateful to every person who takes part.”
