Our Events - Heroes Run

We've tried all sorts of things to raise money for our projects. One thing that we have learnt is that there's nothing wrong in having some fun. Although we're up for trying anything we've realised that there comes a time when it's important to recognise what works best; this is why we are now focusing on our one flagship event, the Heroes Run (formerly The Superhero Challenge).

The idea is simple; people dress up as a hero and run their little cotton socks off (run, jog, walk, anything really) along Brighton seafront in either a 10k or 5k run. There's even a 500m dash for the kids. Here's a little summary of the event to date:

1. Superhero Challenge 1 (241 Superheroes turn up on Brighton Seafront and help us raise some funds March 2005)
2. Superhero Challenge 2 (approx 270 Superheroes turn up on Brighton Seafront and help us out again. March 2006)
3. Superhero Challenge 3 (April 2007 Same drill as the previous 2 years but this time we don't have to beg people quite as much to turn up,oh and local celeb Fatboy slim joins in)
4. Superhero Challenge 4 2008 (The biggest and best one yet. 500 superheroes, three separate races, The Brighton Mayor kicks it all off, Juice FM, The Argus, Meridian TV and BBC South cover it, a superhero themed samba band keep morale up, and we raise over £17,000)
