Please join us on Sunday 9th July at 10am for a 5 mile run along the beautiful coastline between Cowes and Gurnard and raise money for our wonderful children and their school. The course has lots of flat sections, with a water station at 2.5. miles, but also includes the challenging hills of Solent View Road and Castle Hill so there is something for everyone. Please use the links to complete your registration form and to pay entry fees. Entries are £8 if paid through PayPal before 7/7/23 or £10 cash on the day. Registration opens from 9:15-10:15. The start and finish will be from outside the school, on the roundabout, and medals will be provided for all participants. Refreshments will be available before and after the race. Spot prizes will also be awarded so make sure to check out the prize table before you leave.
We hope to see you there.
