The easiest way is to set up a Just Giving Page. Simply follow the instructions and remember to tell everyone about it!
The entry fee covers the cost of hosting the event, but the sponsorship raised helps KEMP continue to deliver its care and support services across the Wyre Forest.

We understand that asking for sponsorship isn’t something everyone feels comfortable with. To help make things easier this year, we’ve introduced a Supporter Ticket. It’s slightly more expensive than a standard entry, but it removes any expectation to fundraise – allowing you to simply enjoy taking part while still supporting KEMP Hospice.
Yes! The on-site café at Wolverley Memorial Hall will be open for hot drinks, breakfast sandwiches and other refreshments from 8am. There is also indoor seating available.
While there will be no parking on the day on the Memorial Hall car park, there will be plenty of places to park nearby.
Nearby parking is available at:
Please arrive early, car share if possible, and be considerate of residents.
KEMP Hospice accepts no responsibility for cars parked at owner’s risk.
Please take the child directly to the Memorial Hall or to a marshal along the route who can contact the Lead Marshal (Ian Carr).
All staff and volunteers must report to the rendezvous point on the field opposite Wolverley Memorial Hall by the park.
After reporting, staff and volunteers will help assemble participants and guide them safely off the premises.
Please hand all lost property to a member of the KEMP Hospice staff team. If someone claims an item, ask them to describe it before returning it.
Yes please! We need marshals to keep runners safe and cheer them along the route, as well as site helpers to run check-in and memorial hall activities.
