The Wythall and Hollywood Fun Run is supported by the Public Health Team from Worcestershire County Council.
Councillor David Ross, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing at Worcestershire County Council, added: “The Wythall and Hollywood Fun Run isn’t just about running; it’s about bringing people together, fostering community spirit, and encouraging healthier lifestyles. We’re grateful to our all partners for their hard work in making this event happen.”
This year’s event will raise funds for Acorns Children’s Hospice, the main charity partner.
Sophie Boreham, Events Manager at Acorns Children’s Hospice, said: “We are thrilled to be the main charity partner for the 2025. Wythall and Hollywood Fun Run. We are proud to have deep connections to this community – we are the local children’s hospice for Wythall and Hollywood, and Wythall is home to Acorns central office. So it means a great deal to be able to raise awareness of our children’s hospice care by partnering with one of the area’s biggest and best-loved events.
“It costs £35,000 each day to run our three hospices and provide our lifeline care and support for seriously ill children and their families. Help can’t wait for these families. So it would be amazing if anyone signing up could join ‘Team Acorns’ and help raise funds towards our vital care. Every penny raised will ensure families caring for children with life limiting and life threatening conditions get the care and support they desperately need.”
New for 2025, our media sponsor, will be Bromsgrove Standard.
Tristan Harris, Editor of Bromsgrove Standard added: “Bromsgrove Standard has always taken pride in being the district's number one community newspaper. We also love to promote local events and help our readers stay fit and healthy. It is great to be one of the Wythall Fun Run's official partners. Hopefully we can help inspire more runners eclipse last year's already impressive total of participants and make the race and fun day even bigger and better.
In addition to the races, Wythall Community Association will host a family fun day with food stalls, entertainment, and activity taster sessions.
