Run by and for the community, raising money for local charities and community organisations

2010 entries are now open!

Entries are now open for the 19th annual Hook Fun Run & Road Race, which takes place on Sunday 16th May.

Again this year you have a choice of race distances - 10 miles, 6 miles or 2.5 miles.

New for 2010: You can now enter all events online!

Or you can download an entry form here and post it to us with your payment.

We hope you can join us at this year's event. Last year we raised a record amount for local charities and community groups and we hope to do even better this year.

We advise you to get your entry in early to avoid being disappointed!!

The small print:

  1. The £2.00 discount for the 10 miles and 6 miles races only applies to members of running clubs that are affiliated to UK Athletics.
  2. Online 2.5 mile entries are £6.00 for everyone. The £5.00 entry fee for under 16's is only available via the postal entry form.

You did it!

A whopping 937 of you came through the finish at this year’s Hook Fun Run and Road Race. Well done everybody, and once again a massive thank you to absolutely everyone who helped out and made this such a fun (if damp) community event! Special thanks to the sporty gorillas from the Park Health Club who entertained us all during the warm up, and who generously provided mountains of bananas at the finish.

Thanks to your exertions, we’ve been able to make lots of donations to local charities and organisations over the summer. Here’s an extract from one of the thank you letters we received:

‘The Fun Run is such an excellent event uniting the village and providing serious and recreational runners the chance to have fun. Hook wouldn’t be the same without it!'

Would you like the opportunity to get involved? We always need lots of help on the weekend of the event, and are also looking for a couple of volunteers to help out with some admin during the buildup. If you think you can spare some time, please mail us at team@hookfunrun.com – we look forward to hearing from you.

Do you own or work for a local business? Would you like to get more involved in supporting your community? The Fun Run relies on sponsorship to enable us to stage the event, and inevitably our costs are rising. Please contact our chairperson via team@hookfunrun.com to discuss how we can raise your profile locally and bring you on board for 2010.
