Last year, over 800 people took part in the Littlehampton 10k, raising over £30,000 for Chestnut Tree House children's hospice. The popular event - now in its 19th year - has just opened for registration for 2022, and Chestnut Tree House are seeking runners to get involved!

Taking place on Sunday 4 September on Littlehampton beach promenade, the 10k route passes through residential Littlehampton, Rustington and Mewsbrook Park. Since it launched in 2003, the run has attracted a variety of participants every year, from individuals and groups of friends to corporate teams and running clubs.

Whether you're a first time 10ker or fun run fan, training for a bigger goal or just love a challenge, the Littlehampton 10k is perfect for you.

Andrew Battley, Events Fundraiser for Chestnut Tree House said: "The Littlehampton 10k is very special to Chestnut Tree House as it was our original fundraising event, which has been running as long as we have."

Last year, Andrew MacCaskill, 34, was the first person to cross the finish line, with an incredible finish time of under 32 minutes. "This was my third time taking part in the Littlehampton 10k," said Andrew. "It's a beautiful course, great atmosphere, and there's amazing support from everyone."

Andrew Battley continued: "Chestnut Tree House relies on the support and generosity of people like you to help make children's hospice care possible. So, please, sign up today and make a big difference to children and families your local community."
