Runs 2009
A massive thank you to each of our amazing runners who between them have raised £4,800 in 2009 for Get Connected!
Our supporters started the year by running the Do It For Charity London 5km around the picturesque Regent’s Park on a bright and breezy day in May. In July, 24 of our supporters braved the streets of London for the ASICS British 10km, with many of our runners beating their personal bests in fine style. Last but by no means least, we’ve had supporters take on the Run to the Beat Half Marathon, where bands spread around the course to motivate our runners and the Surrey Badger Half Marathon in order to grab a bottle of Badger Beer Gold!
We’re already looking forward to cheering on one of our volunteers running the Paris Marathon in 2010! If you’ve been inspired to dig out your trainers and run for Get Connected then we would love to hear from you, please email the fundraising team by clicking here , or call them on 020 7009 2500.
