Tenby 10k raises more than £20,000 for Paul Sartori
A POPULAR Tenby road race has raised more than £20,000 for Paul Sartori Hospice at Home.
Runners and sponsors taking part in last year’s Tenby 10k raised £20,559.07 for the Pembrokeshire charity, which provides hospice care to people in their own homes.
The race, organised by Waterfront Community Runners, took place in October 2025 and was well supported by locals and visitors, who lined the route through the town to cheer on competitors.
Laura Hugman, Chief Executive of Paul Sartori, has now received the cheque, presented by a selection of those who took part in the event.
This year’s Tenby 10k will take place on Sunday, October 25, 2026, on a closed-road, two-lap course through the centre of Tenby.
More than 400 runners have already signed up, with entries now past 40 per cent capacity and organisers expecting the event to sell out again.
Anyone wishing to take part can enter at www.waterfrontcommunityrunners.co.uk.
All proceeds from this year’s race will again be donated to the Paul Sartori Foundation.
