Guildford's MP, Anne Milton, is running the Surrey Half Marathon on Saturday 9th March.
Anne said: ‘It is fantastic to have our own Half Marathon starting in Guildford. I won’t be fast so it might be a long wait for my family on the finish line, but I will be running for the British Heart Foundation, Guildford Action, Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre Guildford and Guildford YMCA. I have got a great team running with me (and probably ahead of me!) – all part of ‘Team Anne Milton’ and helping local Guildford charities. If you see us on the day, please do cheer us along!’

** POST-RUN UPDATE **
Habing completed the half-marathon, Anne said: "The first Surrey Half Marathon held yesterday was absolutely fantastic! The sun was shining and the atmosphere was wonderful with the residents of Guildford coming out in their thousands to support. I was sad not to run (my knee gave up on me on the last day of training) but I walked the 13 miles, setting a personal best, which reached other muscles, not normally reached! Well done to all runners who participated and to the event organisers for arranging such a brilliant day!"
We have raised over £2,500 for Guildford Charities including Guildford Action, British Heart Foundation (Guildford and Godalming), Guildford YMCA and RASASC.
