That's because taking part in the race has helped the Chichester-based charity Children on the Edge, who organise the event in conjunction with Everyone Active, use it to rasie vital funds for their work around the world.

COTE's Ben Wilks addressed runners before the start to tell them how they were making a big difference to child refugees.
