Taking place around the grounds of Chichester College, participants can choose between a 2k, 5k or 10k distance.
Also taking part in the run is ‘Wise Wilf’, the hospice mascot.

Danny, who grew up in Bognor Regis, is an enthusiastic supporter of St Wilfrid’s Hospice in Donnington.
His mum, Jan, has been a nurse at the hospice for more than 13 years.
Danny said: “Because my mum works there, I get a real inside view of the hospice and can really appreciate the incredible work the nurses do, looking after people in the last phase of their lives.
