Dust
off your Dalek costume, the
Cambridge Fun Run is back
Friday 19th November,
11:55am, Cambridge Science Park
In aid of BBC Children in Need
Cambridge
Consultants, the organiser of
the annual Cambridge Fun Run
for BBC Children in Need, is
pleased to announce that this
year’s event will take
place at lunch time on Friday,
the 19th November. The event,
which raised over £9,000
for Children in Need last year
and attracted 80 teams, has
bold ambitions of reaching the
target of £15,000 and
150 teams. The invitation is
open to any organisations and
individuals, over the age of
18, throughout Cambridgeshire
and not just those companies
based on the Science Park.
Local people in and around Cambridgeshire,
who are interested in raising
money for charity, getting some
much needed exercise and meeting
new people, should follow this
simple process:
-
Get a team of four people
together, whether they are
work colleagues, neighbours,
friends or family
-
Email FunRun@CambridgeConsultants.com
or call 01223 392370 for an
entry pack
-
Decide whether your team is
going to run in fancy dress
-
Pester friends, family and
colleagues for sponsorship
money
-
Start exercising or making
costumes.
The
Fun Run is a four by 1.1 mile
relay race around the Science
Park and awards are handed out
to the winning male, female,
mixed, over 40’s and fancy
dress teams.
Alistair Morfey of Cambridge
Consultants, who organises the
Fun Run each year, said "Last
year we had nearly 400 people
running around the Science Park
and it is great to see so many
people taking time out of their
day to support the Children
in Need charity. For the last
three years we have raised £9,000
each time and this year we are
hoping to see this increase
to £15,000. This does
depend on the number of teams
taking part, so I urge anybody
who wants to do something for
the national event to contact
us for an entry pack and put
a team together".
Alistair Morfey, who can be
reached on 01223 420024, is
interested to hear from local
companies who are interested
in sponsoring the event, which
usually attracts a large number
of runners and spectators from
some of Cambridge’s leading
companies.
