NEW EVENT! Hospice 10K Run

Sunday October 17

We have joined forces with two other local hospices, Lewis Manning and Friends of Forest Holme, to organise a 10k run/walk along Bournemouth seafront starting and finishing at the pier.

We are hoping for a 1,000 entrants and to raise about £40,000 between the three charities. If you are a regular runner or have always considered training for a 10k run then no excuses; put it in your diaries, dust off your trainers and ‘just do it’ as they say. Fun Runners very welcome too so fancy dress also an option.

It is also the largest national park extending for 86,208 hectares from the south west of Granada City across to the western part of Almería province, from the snowy high peaks down to the fertile slopes of the Alpujarra.
