Join #TeamRaystede and take part in the Wittering Beach Run to help injured and unwanted animals in need!

We’ve teamed up with Run for Charity to offer you the chance to take on this exciting, dog friendly challenge.

This route offers stunning, long-reaching views of Selsey Bill and Isle of Wight, as well as Chichester Harbour, the Solent, and the South Downs, giving you picturesque views the whole way.

You can choose from 5km, 10km or 15km routes, and all take advantage of the extensive sandy flats that are revealed at low tide.
