The team at Hallmark Glazed Extensions are very proud to support the Hailsham Run, on Sunday, May 21st 2023, as one of the local business sponsors and in association with Hailsham Town Council. It will be a fantastic event for the town and the local community.
We particularly appreciate the tireless work that the organisers, Hailsham Active, do to promote a healthier lifestyle for the residents of the town through their campaigning for improved accessible facilities for all, whether that be supporting local sports clubs, building an all weather path around the recreation field or organising free fitness classes.
The Hailsham Run is yet another example, and it would be great to see it become a regular date on the town's annual events calendar.
From a personal perspective, I remember watching the Fun Runs held in Hailsham back in the 80s and what an occasion it was for everyone. So it’s great to see it return and the same positive atmosphere experienced by those running and watching again.
Running has grown in popularity over the past 5 - 10 years. No longer is it considered to be an activity for a select few. It doesn’t have to be about time or distance; it’s simply about getting out and taking it one step at a time; in doing so, the benefits of physical fitness and, importantly, mental health perspective become apparent.
I only started running a few years ago, in my early forties, and have found it a great way to declutter my headspace within the world of distractions we currently live in.
Especially as we are so lucky as a Town to have the beautiful East Sussex countryside on our doorstep to explore.
It’s also a great way to meet others, with the established local Hailsham Harriers or 6 am Runners (Hailsham & Hellingly) Group, found on Facebook, a great place to start.
No matter your age, or running experience, the Hailsham Run will provide an excellent opportunity for those wanting to get a PB or simply get up and running for the first time, with a selection of runs to suit all and participate in.
Ultimately, though, it’s about enjoying yourself and having fun!
So, sign up now and get those trainers on. If running simply isn’t for you, then put the date in the diary and be part of a supportive crowd creating an atmosphere to be remembered by all!
