“After 11 years of successful races raising £1000’s of pounds for local charities, Horsham Rotary Club feel that the event has now run its course. We will be looking for ways to replace this popular event going forward.

“In the meantime, we are ploughing our efforts fully into the Centenary Funday which will be held in Horsham Park on July 9.”
