Hundreds of runners, families and supporters came together on Sunday as the much-loved Run Prestwood returned in spectacular style, raising more than £6,000 for the Wendover-based charity, the Chilterns Neuro Centre.

Bursting with energy, colour and community spirit, the event featured a challenging 10k chip-timed race, a 5k fun run and an unforgettable children's colour run which transformed the day into a vibrant celebration for all ages.

The annual fundraiser supports people affected by MS, Parkinson's and strokes, helping the Centre continue delivering specialist services, therapies and wellbeing support to local people living with neurological conditions.

This year's event featured exceptional performances on the course, with brand new men's and women's champions crowned in the 10k race. James Laing stormed to victory in a record-breaking time of 35 minutes and 4 seconds, smashing the existing course record, while Hannah Laing delivered a phenomenal run of 43 minutes and 38 seconds, finishing just seconds away from breaking the women's record.

Adding even more excitement to the day was the brand new children's colour run, which proved an instant hit with families. Young runners raced through clouds of brightly coloured powder as cheering crowds lined the course, creating a buzzing festival atmosphere and making this year's Run Prestwood one of the biggest and brightest yet.

"Run Prestwood is always an incredible event, but this year truly felt extra special," said Hannah Fleming, Community and Events Manager at the Chilterns Neuro Centre. "The atmosphere was amazing from start to finish and it was wonderful to see so many people coming together to support the Centre, whether they were running, volunteering or cheering everyone on. Every pound raised will help us continue supporting people affected by neurological conditions to live happier, healthier and more independent lives."

"We are incredibly proud to support Run Prestwood and the amazing work of the Chilterns Neuro Centre," said Rudi Chlebecek from race sponsor, DC Kaye and Co Solicitors. "It was inspiring to see the community come together for such a positive, energetic and uplifting event, all while raising vital funds for an important local charity."

The Chilterns Neuro Centre extends its deepest gratitude to all those whose contributions were instrumental in making the event possible, particularly all the incredible volunteers who play such an important role. Special thanks go to DC Kaye and Co Solicitors for their event sponsorship, Prestwood Gym and Fitness Centre for hosting, Move and Massage for providing post-race massages and Will Dockerty Photography for providing the official photographer.
