It has just been announced that Sussex Newspapers Group, which obviously
includes The Hastings Observer, will be Sponsoring the 2013 Sussex Athletics
County Half Marathon Championships, which will be incorporated in the
Hastings Half Marathon on Sunday 24th March 2013.
This is the first time in the History of the Championships that they have
been sponsored, and Sussex Newspapers will be supplying Trophies and Prize
Money for the first three male and female finishers. All winners in the
various categories will receive the Sussex Medal.
It is hoped that this new move will encourage more quality for the 2013

Half Marathon Championships for 2013.
The Event can be used as a springboard by any needy cause or Charity, to
raise funds, and ALL monies raised by The Event by the Lions Club, goes
back into The Community.
There are categories for Business Teams, Sports Teams, Pub Teams, Club
Teams, Charity Teams, families and Husband and Wives, and awards in age
categories, and even a Fancy Dress Award.
Already it has been mentioned for a number of runners to be taking part to
raise funds for the William Parker Track Appeal, as well as increasing the
awarement of everyone to support this basic Athletic Track Appeal, which is
essential for the future of Athletics in Hastings. Get behind this Appeal
now by committing to 'Run for the Track', and make a Big Statement to all
concerned.
We would also like to see more disabled Athletes taking part to follow the
very successful Paralympics. But please let us know who you are when
entering.
There will also be the 23rd Running of the SAGA sponsored Mini-Run for
youngsters aged 11-16. A great chance to be part of a Major Event, and raise
