Last chance to enter 10k Prom

The deadline for entries for the 13th staging of the sporting success is next Tuesday, May 8.

No entries will be accepted on the race day of May 20.

An unlimited number of runners is being accepted by the organisers at Bognor Hotham Rotary Club.

The introduction of chip timing means an accurate record of each individual's effort can be obtained no matter how long it takes for them to cross the starting line.

A total of 1,353 people had entered the race at the start of this week. The event '“ with the Bognor Regis Observer as the main sponsor '“ has become a great combination of serious running as well as fundraising. Last year's staging raised an impressive 25,000 for big and small charities alike.

Competitive runners are spurred on by the 200 prizes for the men and women runners.

A further 200 is on offer if the course records of 31min 6sec for men and 35min 19sec for women are broken.

All charity runners are entered into a draw by the Rotarians. The organisers have sometimes topped up the individual fundraising efforts to boost the amount for charities.

Application forms for last minute entries are available from the Observer offices in Bognor and Chichester as well as both visitor information centres.

The library, town hall, Arena and Arun centres, JW Sports in Queensway and Fitness First gym in Bognor also have the forms along with the Six Villages Sports Centre in Westergate.
