ROWCROFT HOSPICE ANNOUNCED AS OFFICIAL CHARITY PARTNER FOR TORBAY HALF MARATHON & 10K 2025

A cherished local charity is set to take centre stage when the Torbay Half Marathon & 10k returns to the English Riviera this autumn, on Sunday 21st September 2025.

Rowcroft Hospice returns as the official charity partner for 2025, following an outpouring of support last year. Despite the event’s unfortunate cancellation due to severe storm conditions, an exceptional amount of participants still showed their support to help fundraise for this beloved charity. This year, Rowcroft is hopeful of seeing those incredible numbers once again, as they invite the community to come together in support of their vital work across South Devon.

Mark Hawkins, Chief Executive of Rowcroft Hospice, welcomed the continued partnership and the chance to build on the success of previous years. He said:"We are thrilled to be the Official Charity Partner once again for the Torbay Half Marathon & 10k. These events not only offer a fantastic day of achievement and community spirit, but they also play a crucial role in helping us to provide our services to those who need them most. We encourage as many people as possible to get involved, support Rowcroft, and make a real difference for local families."

Suzi Cumberland, Race Director at organisers Taurus Events, shared Mark’s enthusiasm, adding:"The Torbay Half Marathon and 10k have firmly re-established themselves as highlights of the regional calendar. It’s brilliant to continue our partnership with Rowcroft Hospice, a charity that resonates deeply with the local community. The event offers a wonderful platform for fundraising in a vibrant and supportive atmosphere."

With a scenic route along the stunning coastline of the English Riviera, the events promise to welcome participants of all abilities from across Devon and beyond.

Entries are now open, and participants can choose to fundraise for Rowcroft Hospice by selecting them during registration. To find out more about supporting Rowcroft, visit: Torbay Half Marathon & 10K | Rowcroft Hospice
