Excitement builds for 2026 Bognor Prom 10k
Preparations for the 2026 Bognor Prom 10k road race are well under way.
This year, organisers are celebrating 30 years of the event, which takes place on Sunday, May 17.
It's looking to become the most successful event so far and the Junior Fun Run is due to sell out quicker than ever before.
Those running this year's main 10k also have the opportunity to purchase a commemorative T-shirt to celebrate this huge milestone for the town and local charities.
The event committee would like to thank all the local businesses and organisations that have supported the event over the years, including: The Arena Sports Centre, Reynolds, Fostering West Sussex, South Coast Sports, and Unique Workwear Printing and Embroidery to name a few.
Not only is the event a big one on the sporting calendar, but it is run by volunteers and all profits are distributed to selected local charities throughout the following year.
This year's charity partner is St Wilfrid's Hospice.
A spokesperson from St Wilfrid's Hospice said: "St Wilfrid’s Hospice is excited to be part of the Bognor Prom 10k and extremely appreciative of being the charity partner for such a great event – and receiving 10 free places.
"This means our incredible supporters will be able to run on our behalf and raise valuable funds towards the running of the hospice and the provision of palliative and end-of-life care to people in our local community."
This year also sees local photographer and supporter of the event Lee Taylor, from 1981 Photography, put down his camera and pick up some trainers as he plans to run the 10k for the first time.
Lee is in training for the event but admits the challenge will be hard.
Entries for both the Junior Fun Run and 10K are still open. Please check out www.bognorprom10k.org to secure your entry today.
