Runners who took part in the Boxing Day Run at Hindhead have helped raise a record amount of money for Holy Cross Hospital.

The cheque for £5,200 was presented to Frances Campion-Smith, who is the charity’s Chief Executive by run organiser Matt Dellar.

The first Boxing Day Run took place in the mid 1980s and attracted just a handful of runners from Haslemere Border Athletics Club. After a few years, the rugby club took on the organisation of the run and introduced the custom of serving a pint of beer part way through. In 1997, the run organiser didn’t show up so Matt stepped in and has been organising it ever since.
