To celebrate midsummer, on Saturday 24th June Henfield Joggers invite you to run, jog, walk, or stroll with your family and dogs a special route taking in some of our beautiful countryside, all in aid of a fund to assist Eric Williams and his family adapt their home to life with a spinal injury.
The route is four miles long, and chosen to take in some of the information points from the Hidden Henfield website. It’s completely on public footpaths, and will be signed with arrows on the day. For the technically able you can also use a FREE RunGo app and follow the route on your mobile - if you turn your volume up (or use headphones) this is voice guided so will help you navigate your way!
The Start and Finish is at Berretts Cabin, where not only will welcoming coffee and snacks be available to buy, but also Rushfields will be serving up Breakfast all morning and then the Gorilla Pizza will be opening from 3pm and through the evening.
It’s midsummer, the most daylit time of year, so we are opening the route from 9am (you’ll know the start by the Henfield Joggers inflatable green arch!) until 9pm. And you can complete the course AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT! A hardy few may want to test themselves and see how many miles they can rack up, most will take a wander and, er, EAT and DRINK! It’s all ok!
Now the serious part - at the start/finish we’re asking for a completely voluntary donation to the Eric Williams Charity Appeal - a local legend in Henfield who suffered a serious spinal injury and needs resources to convert his house to a new way of living. Our suggested donation is £1 for every time you pass under the green arch, but it’s completely up to you!
