“The Worthing 10k is a great event for those who want to start running but need something to aim for. Running for a cause such as Care for Veterans will really help motivate you throughout your training, and on the day itself.
“Now is the ideal time to start training, so make sure you contact us asap to secure your place.”
Registration via Care for Veterans is £22 and the charity asks runners to raise a minimum of £50 in sponsorship.

As last year, some veterans will be taking part in their wheelchairs, so team members will be able to feel the pride of running alongside them.
