8km undercliff run for women's charity
The Rise 2009 8k Undercliff Run for Women will raise money for Rise, the charity for women and children affected by domestic abuse. The run will take place on October 11 at 9am on the Undercliff Walkway by Asda in Brighton Marina.Rise runs the only local telephone helpline for people suffering from the effects of domestic abuse; in 2007/08, when it opened for restricted hours, it answered over 1,800 calls. This year, it has expanded the service and needs to raise money to support this vital service.
A unique run along the scenic cliff-side path from Brighton Marina to Rottingdean and back to the Marina, in total 8k (5 miles), the Undercliff Run is an exciting opportunity for new and experienced female runners to experience the buzz and camaraderie of running with 400 other women, alongside the expanse of the sea.
Registration costs £12 and must be completed by September 30; no registration can take place on the day. Runners must be over 15 by October 11th, but there is no maximum age limit. Even though raising sponsorship is not obligatory, any sponsorship would be gratefully appreciated and will help Rise continue to support those affected by domestic abuse.
