Run Wexham 2016

Running to help seriously ill children on Sunday 17 July 2016
Run Wexham is a 10k Trail Run and 2.8k Fun Trail Run which starts and finishes in the grounds of Wexham Park Hospital in Berkshire close to the South Bucks border. Though the hospital is close to Slough the race terrain is unbelievably rural and the run is across adjacent countryside and farmland between Wexham Park and Black Park / Rowley Lane. Parking is free and within the hospital grounds.
Every participant will get a finishing medal and fancy dress is strongly encouraged (particularly in the Fun Run). There will be prizes for some runners and a prize for the best fancy dress!
100% of the proceeds from Run Wexham will support your local hospital and our Children’s Critical Care Appeal. Your support will provide state-of-the-art equipment to help very ill children, many with complex problems, who need to stay in the hospital. The hospital is funding and building a new 5 bed Critical Care Unit for Children and with family accommodation. If you wish you may also choose to support one of our many other projects at your local hospital.
10 children with serious illnesses are admitted to your local hospital every week
We are enormously grateful to the Pinewood Hotel who have kindly sponsored the medals for this event
