The event will take place on Sunday 16th February.

Over 1,500 runners are expected to take part in the fourth edition of the Watersons Hale 10K next week.

Taking place on Sunday 16th February, the event will get underway on South Downs Road in Hale before runners pass through Hale village and into Ashley before finishing in the grounds of Ashley Hall.

There will be bespoke food and drink concessions, face painting, rides for children and professional support from Altius Physiotherapy, all hosted by Happy Radio’s Darren Proctor and Spence Macdonald.

A total of £1,500 in prize money is available, as well as product prizes and weekend camping tickets to Britfest for the fastest team.

There’s a race for younger runners, too, or those simply looking to enjoy a shorter distance.

The 3K race will start at 9am in the grounds of Ashley Hall. Each runner will receive a race bib, timing chip, bespoke finisher medals and trophies and prizes for age group winners of under 16, U14, U11 and U8.

The Watersons HALE 10k will once again be raising money for The Toy Appeal, which provides toys to thousands of children living in poverty at Christmas.

Entries for the Watersons HALE 10K cost from £26pp for the 10K race and £10pp for the 3K race. To secure your place or find out more information, visit the website.

BBC Sports Editor Dan Roan, who runs the race each year, said: “The kids, Cath and I loved taking part – cracking course and atmosphere, great for Hale and the community too.”

The Watersons HALE 10K is organised by leading events company Sensation Group, which also delivers events including endurance event THE ROC and the Wakestock and Glass Butter Beach festivals.
