Whether you're a competitive athlete, run the odd parkrun, or are brand new to running, get involved in our local, friendly and great value event. Organised by Herne Hill Harriers running club, all proceeds will go to the Emer Casey Foundation, which funds ovarian, uterine and endometrial cancer research.

Dulwich Runners Charity 10K

Join Dulwich Runners AC for their annual charity 10K on Sunday 7 October (10am) in beautiful Dulwich Park.

A welcoming event for runners of all abilities, you'll complete a lap of the park before heading out for two longer loops along leafy neighbouring roads. It's then back into the park for the final effort to the finish, where you can expect a triumphant cheer from race spectators.

Don't forget to bring the rest of the family too - there's also a two-mile race and one-mile fun run for under 15s (£2 entry on the day).

Limited entries will be available on the day (£15) but you can guarantee your place by registering in advance (£12 for non club runners, £10 for club runners).

This year, the money raised will go towards the London Wildlife Trust, managers of nearby Sydenham Woods.

The 'Breakfast Run of Hope' happening in Brockwell Park in September was 'cooked up' by Catherine Weight, a South African living in London who combines her twin passions - baking and running - for an event that's "appealing and fun while raising money for a great cause". Catherine began by baking for friends' birthdays and other special occasions in return for donations to Starfish. Then, wanting to reach out to a larger group of donors than expat South African friends, she went on to organise a half-marathon and raise money for a place in the London Marathon for Starfish.

The Starfish Breakfast Run 2012 hopes to raise around £10,000 for children in South Africa.
