Can you Run for Refugees at the Chichester Half Marathon Event?

Sign Up

Each year, our flagship fundraising event, the Chichester Half Marathon Event raises thousands of pounds for our work with vulnerable children around the world.

We organise the event in partnership with Everyone Active and it's only possible with the kind support of our local sponsors ​Store Property and ​Montezuma's Chocolate.  We've been running the event for the past seven years, and all proceeds from the race go to support our work. The event has raised over £120,000 so far!

All our runners, just by entering the race, are supporting Children on the Edge. But for those who want to go the extra mile, we encourage them to raise money for us as they run.

This year, we're looking for 100 runners to raise £100 for our work with refugee children as part of our Run for Refugees Team. Could you join our Team?

A message from Kerry, our Fundraising Officer.....

I would love to invite you to be part of our exciting 'Run for Refugees' Team this year at the Chichester Half Marathon Event on Sunday 6th October.

The big dream is to have a team of 100 runners all raising £100 (or more) for Children on the Edge at our event this year.

​We want to raise £10,000 to support our vital work with refugee children around the world. We currently support more than 8700 refugee children in Myanmar, Bangladesh and Lebanon, and always need funds to continue this work. 

Your money really does go a long way, with £98 able to support two Rohingya refugee children go to school in one of our camp classrooms for a year.

Whether you're running the Half Marathon, the Ten Miler, or taking part in the Half Marathon Relay, we want to create a fantastic team of runners that will make a difference with their feet at our flagship fundraising event this year.

You'll get a free team t-shirt, a running buff, plus plenty of support from me along the way! You'll also get VIP treatment on race day, as one of our superstar fundraisers. 

£100 is not too tough a target, just think of ten friends giving you £10, and together the money raised would make a huge impact on the lives of the refugee children that we work with. Read more about the children you'll be helping.
