About the Tidworth 10k
The Tidworth 10k & 3k Fun Run was the brain child of Tidworth-based Signal Squadron soldiers Paul Munslow and Mark Morgan.
They wanted to do something to help the local Hospital that had provided care for so many of their fellow serviceman and their families.
The first run in 2005 attracted 300 runners and raised £8,000.
Since then the event has grown to become one the largest 10k’s in central Southern England! It has raised over £150,000
helping the Salisbury District Hospital Stars Appeal to fund projects benefiting thousands of local people,
including the provision of one of Europe’s most advanced keyhole surgery suites, a range of state-of-the-art equipment for premature and critically ill babies and
additional facilities within the new Children's Unit.

The event attracts runners of all ages and abilities, and although there are always some fast times, the focus is on fun and fundraising.
Both runs start and finish at the beautiful Tedworth House. To find our more about the route and the races themselves, click here
About the Stars Appeal
The Stars Appeal raises money to create the best possible experience for the 300,000 people who rely on Salisbury District Hospital.
It funds extra care and equipment over and above that provided by the NHS.
You can run the Tidworth 10k or 3k Fun Run to support any area of the Hospital.
Many runners choose to support a ward or department where they or a loved one has received care. Here are a few examples of where you can direct your support :
You may wish to support our current project to provide a family accommodation unit for local parents whose babies are born premature or critically ill - you can see a video of this project here.
