Oliver Fisher 10k & 5k

On Sunday, May 9th, the Oliver Fisher 10k & 5k returns to Milton Creek Country Park in Sittingbourne, Kent. This beloved race not only offers runners an opportunity for personal achievement but also contributes significantly to a vital cause: supporting premature and poorly babies at Medway Maritime Hospital's Neonatal Unit.

Participants will enjoy a friendly atmosphere filled with fellow enthusiasts who share their passion for running and supporting charitable causes. The race setting is nothing short of stunning, making it a perfect day out for the whole family. In addition to the main races, there's an exciting Junior Run event designed especially for young runners, ensuring that everyone can participate in this uplifting community event.

As part of its commitment to raising funds and awareness, all proceeds benefit The Oliver Fisher Special Care Baby Trust.
