Exbury 10K 2010

2010 race - Sunday 14 March 2010

It was a lovely sunny morning for the 3rd Exbury 10K though there was a chilly wind which did some interesting things to the gazebos. The run took us along Lepe foreshore and the last kilometer was in the lovely Exbury Gardens. The recent cold weather meant that the gardens were not quite as much in flower as usual but there was still lots to see.

Feedback on the Runners World site is excellent; we're glad you enjoyed it. If you aren't a member of a club and enjoyed the race you'll be very welcome to join Hardley Runners.

From the 2010 race we donated just over £2,000 to charities and good causes (including Help for Heroes, The Soldiers Charity and Alzheimers research) and when added onto the previous years donations, it means that in just 3 years the race has now given over £5,700 out to deserving causes and charities.
