The Tigers 10k returns for 2024 and you're invited!
This is a Partner race
This means that we are working with a host Partner Organisation and provide timing and/or race management services for their event.
Event Overview:
The PWRR and Nice Work are delighted to announce the return of the Tigers 10k!
The race is in partnership with The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment of the British Army, raising vital funds to support our veterans. The Regiment’s soldiers thrive on and deliver excellence on complex, tough operations…are you ready to take on the 10k challenge? This year we are focussing on and remembering the seven officers and soldiers from the PWRR who have died on operations from Northern Ireland to Afghanistan. The seven poppies on the medal represent those Tigers and whilst this is still seven too many, thankfully it could have been a lot worse. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of Maj John Barr (NI – 28 Nov 1992), Pte Chris Rayment (Iraq - 4 Aug 04), Pte Lee O’Callaghan (Iraq – 9 Aug 04), Pte CJ Wrathall (Iraq – 12 Feb 09), Pte John Brackpool (Afghanistan – 9 Jul 09), Pte Jonathan Monk (Afghanistan – 9 Jun 10), Pte Tom lake (Afghanistan – 20 Nov 11). We Will Remember Them.

The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment
The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment, known as the Tigers has a Benevolent Fund which was set up to relieve hardship and support veterans as well as serving soldiers in times of dire need. Whilst a relatively new Regiment, the Tigers only formed in 1992 amalgamated from the Queen’s Regiment and Royal Hampshire Regiment. This means that we not only support our younger veterans but also support our venerable older veterans from those regiments and their forebears also. Ranging from veterans who fought in all theatres of WW2, through to the Korean War, the fight against Terrorism in Northern Ireland and up to the life changing injuries inflicted on our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not only physical injuries though, as many of our Tigers suffer from the mental anguish from multiple deployments to many of these theatres - the number of suicides over the last few years is testament to that struggle.

The PWRR Benevolent Fund
By entering the Tigers 10K you are directly supporting those soldiers in their hour of need.
The PWRR is a registered charity (No. 1024418) and their work ensures that members of the Regiment, forebear Regiments and their families have access to support and advice to guide them through difficult times, relieving hardship and distress. Examples range from help with purchasing a mobility scooter which allowed an WW2 veteran to leave his flat through to renovating a house to allow a young veteran amputee and his family to live a full life. By taking part in this challenge, you will be making an impact on the lives of our National heroes.
They stood up when our country needed them, now it’s our turn to stand up and help them.
