Cynthia Spencer Hospice Charity is offering places at the sold-out Run Fest Silverstone to runners who pledge to raise at least £200 for local hospice care.

The Northampton-based charity has a limited allocation across the 5K, 10K and half marathon distances at Silverstone Circuit on Sunday 22 November.

General entries have sold out, with the organisers directing prospective participants to charity partners that still have places available.

This is Cynthia Spencer Hospice Charity’s first year as a bronze charity partner for Run Fest Silverstone. Its fundraising appeal comes as the hospice marks its 50th anniversary.

Registration costs £15 for the 5K, £20 for the 10K and £25 for the half marathon, alongside the minimum £200 fundraising commitment. The charity says that £200 could help fund eight hours of specialist palliative care at home.

Katie Fouracre, community and events fundraising lead at Cynthia Spencer Hospice Charity, said: “If you thought you had missed your chance to run at Silverstone this year, we could still help you get to the starting line. Our charity places offer a fantastic opportunity to experience this iconic circuit while doing something that matters for local families.

“As Cynthia Spencer Hospice marks its 50th anniversary this year, runners can help ensure its care continues to be there for local families when they need it most.”

Money raised will support specialist palliative care for patients and their families across Northamptonshire, both at the hospice and in their own homes.

Katie added: “Every pound raised by a Run Fest runner will help more families facing the uncertainty of a life-limiting illness.

“We would love to hear from runners who are enthusiastic about fundraising for Cynthia Spencer Hospice Charity, whether they have a personal connection to the hospice or simply want to support care in their community.”

Runners can register their interest through the charity’s website. Those who already hold a place at the event can also dedicate their run to the hospice and contact its fundraising team for support.
