Running Events
Support Afasic by taking part in a range of running events across the UK, for all levels from a gentle jog to a full marathon! Some ideas are below, or if you already have a run in mind that you want to do – just let us know!
London Marathon – Afasic has a Golden Bond that gives us 5 guaranteed places per year. We are full for 2012, but if you have your own place and want to run for Afasic, or if you are interested in a place for the 2013 event, then please do get in touch.
Big Fun Run – This is a series of 5k fun runs that are taking place across the UK between July and October 2011. To find an event near you and to enter go to the Big Fun Run website then let us know and we can send you a running pack. There are no age restrictions and it costs a maximum of £10 to enter.
Great Run Series – For something a bit more challenging, the Great Run series has events from 10k up to half marathon that take place in a range of locations during the year. To find one that suits you and to enter go to the Great Run website once you have entered then let us know and we can send you a running pack. Note that some events (like the Great North Run) are very popular so it pays to enter early.
If none of these inspires you then you can visit the Runners World website and look in the events section for forthcoming events in your area.
Whatever you decide to do, get in touch with us and we will support you as much as possible. We will send you an initial pack with sponsor forms, information about Afasic, stickers, training and fundraising advice and tips, and a running top or t-shirt. We are also on hand to help you with training and fundraising advice.
Please run for Afasic, your support really can make a difference.
