Hundreds of runners pounded the streets to raise money for sick children today.

Despite unpleasant conditions, including vicious winds rattling in off the sea, the Chestnut Tree House 10K Coastal Run was hailed a success.

Those taking part came from all over Sussex and further afield.

It is hoped the event will raise at least £20,000 for Chestnut Tree House Hospice, which cares for ill children in Arundel.

A spokeswoman for the race said: “It’s been blustery but everyone’s had a smile on their face.”
