11 Jul Run like a superhero for St Helena Hospice
St Helena Hospice is calling for people to dress as their favourite fictional character and run like the wind, as Comic Hero Run is back for 2022 and is set to be better than ever before!
The fun run is taking place in Colchester’s famous Castle Park on Sunday 16th October 2022 and there will be a selection of fun runs for all the family to enjoy.
Runners can take their pick from one of three routes; 1km, 5km or 10km routes to run on the day. This fun family event is suitable for all ages to take part and dressing up as a favourite superhero is highly encouraged.
Lisa Chenery, fundraiser at St Helena Hospice, said: “We are so excited to be bringing back Comic Hero Run to Colchester after a three-year break and we hope to see lots of people getting into the spirit and donning their best comic hero costumes!
“With three different routes to choose from, there is something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a fun and active day out with the family, or fancy challenging yourself or want to get competitive with friends or family, by taking on the longer 10k run.
“All the money raised from this event will go towards helping patients and families receive the care and support they need, when they need it, where they need it. We encourage everyone to raise £35 in sponsorship as the event registration fee only covers the cost of putting on this amazing event. By raising £50 in sponsorship, you could help provide the care and support a family in crisis needs in the depth of night with a visit from a SinglePoint nurse in their home.
“All sponsorship raised by participants will help local people within the community facing incurable illness and bereavement and we are so grateful for all of our supporters and fundraisers who continue to help people in north east Essex at a most difficult time for them. Thanks to your generosity and support we can help more local people live and die well with compassion, dignity and choice.”
Whether a competitive seasoned runner, seeking a new fitness challenge or simply looking for a fun family morning out, Comic Hero Run is set to be a superpowered day.
