Here are a few updates about this month’s London Interfaith Fun Run, which is taking place on the summer bank holiday, Monday 29th August:
A fantastic day out for the whole family! Anyone can participate in the Fun Run or walk: parents pushing babies in buggies; people in wheelchairs; young and old. You don’t even need to join the Fun Run – you can just show up to meet old friends and make new friends.
Only those who are participating in the Fun Run need to pay the registration fee, which goes towards the administrative cost of the event – friends and family can attend the rest of the event for free! Those who wish to make an additional donation to support the programme may do so.
There will be a First Aid station / St John’s Ambulance available and food vendors will be present. Events and activities will be hosted in the interfaith zone, as well as bouncy castles and obstacle courses for children.
FFWPU will be one of the charities with a stall and gazebo, which we can use to distribute materials, like books and flyers, or even share the Holy Blessing with people. If you’re interested in volunteering for part of the day to run the stall, please contact Matthew (matthew@ffwpu.org.uk).
Otherwise please register for the Fun Run directly at the organisers’ website. See you in Barnet!
People from across the capital’s communities are invited as the London Interfaith Fun Run returns this summer. The event will bring together people from all backgrounds and beliefs to enjoy a day of sports, running to fundraise for important causes, and intercultural activities and entertainment on Bank Holiday Monday 29th August at StoneX Stadium in Barnet.
The inaugural event last summer was an incredible success, with over 500 attendees, 250 runners and £10,000 of funds being generated for 35 brilliant charities. This year is going to be even bigger, with more runners, charities and exciting activities planned. Runners taking part can choose to support one of over 40 causes, with more charities to be confirmed.
Organised by the Faith & Belief Forum and Maccabi GB and supported by Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London’s Council on Faith, the Fun Run involves a wide range of charities doing important work across the UK.
The London Interfaith Fun Run offers options of a 10km, 5km or 1km to walk, run or jog, as well as the Tri-Run which includes all three distances. The races are open to people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities and the routes can be completed at any pace.
There is also a buzzing festival area with performances from a diverse range of faith and belief groups, interfaith encounters, activities for families and young people, food stalls and a picnic area, and much more.
Above all, the Interfaith Fun Run is an opportunity for London’s communities to come together and send a message of unity and friendship, and show how great the city’s diverse faiths, beliefs and cultures are when we all work together for the common good.
