ROWCROFT HOSPICE ANNOUNCED AS OFFICIAL CHARITY PARTNER FOR TORBAY HALF MARATHON & 10K 2026

A beloved local charity will once again be at the heart of the Torbay Half Marathon & 10k when the event returns to the English Riviera on Sunday 20 September 2026.

Rowcroft Hospice has been confirmed as the official charity partner for 2026, following the outstanding success of this year's 2025 event that raised £60,000 for Rowcroft with nearly 300 participants running and fundraising for the charity. Rowcroft’s presence added significant energy and purpose to the event, helping to create an uplifting and supportive atmosphere for all participants.

Building on this achievement, Rowcroft Hospice is looking forward to engaging the local community once again, encouraging individuals, families and teams to take part and support the charity’s vital work across South Devon.

Mark Hawkins, Chief Executive of Rowcroft Hospice, said:“We are delighted to continue as the Official Charity Partner for the Torbay Half Marathon & 10k in 2026. The incredible support shown last year made a meaningful difference to the people and families we care for. These events bring communities together and play an important role in helping us deliver our services, and we are hugely grateful to everyone who chooses to support Rowcroft.”

Suzi Cumberland, Managing Director

at Taurus Events, added:“The Torbay Half Marathon and 10k continue to go from strength to strength, and it is a pleasure to work alongside Rowcroft Hospice once again. Their contribution goes far beyond fundraising, helping to create a welcoming and supportive environment that reflects the spirit of the event and the wider community.”

With a scenic route along the coastline of the English Riviera, the Torbay Half Marathon & 10k will once again welcome participants of all abilities from across Devon and beyond.
