Who organises the Community Fun Run?
For the fourth consecutive year, a number of Jewish charities have teamed up to organise the Community Fun Run, making it a major cross communal fundraising charity event. The Community Fun Run is logistically managed by Maccabi GB.
Do I have to be super fit to participate?
No. All fitness levels are welcome and the event is aimed at adults, kids and families who can opt for the traditional 5k or 10k course or the new 1k course. In other words ABSOLUTELY ANYBODY can participate, from the youngest to the oldest – at any fitness level.
How far is the course?
There is a 1k, 5k and 10k course option. The new shorter 1km route is suitable for any fitness level or age. The 5k run is a more challenging but fun option where you can walk, jog, run, push a buggy or even participate hopping in fancy dress! The 10k course is generally recommended for the more serious runner.
