The highly anticipated Torbay Half Marathon and 10k is set to make a triumphant return to the running calendar on Sunday 29 September 2024, with Rowcroft Hospice asking people to pound the pavement in support of the hospice.

“We’re over the moon to see the return of this popular Torbay running race that raises significant funds for good causes,” said Rowcroft’s Fundraiser Hayley Townsend.
“For Rowcroft’s runners, this event is not just about crossing the finish line; it’s about helping to provide crucial comfort and care to local patients with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones.
Every step taken brings us closer to our goal of ensuring that no one faces end of life alone. We’d love you to run for Rowcroft so please do sign up now and take advantage of our fabulous discount codes.
