It’s a glorious spring day down here in the West Sussex south coast and we have come down to give some moral support to the brave people who are taking part in this race. I have run it twice before to raise funds for a couple of charities, so they certainly have my full support, as I know most of them will be doing just that.
I understand that Paul Wells, our Mayor, is taking part in order to raise funds to restore Bognor Regis Pier, a subject close to my heart too and which I am proud to sponsor.

I took my son to join the St John’s Ambulance volunteering team earlier in the day and then Adonis and I returned with our puppy, Beano, half an hour before the race started at 10.30 am to enjoy a stroll along the lovely sea front we are so privileged to have so near our home.
It was lovely to see so many people along the way to support the runners. These are some of the shots I took. I hope you like them.

Slowly building up
More and more
Nice to see some people make the effort to dress up
Good on you!

And the fountain is on!
My son as a volunteer for St John’s Ambulance. So proud!
