Festival of Running
Saturday 26th June Hinchingbrooke Country Park
10.00am-4.00pm
Sunday 27th June ST Ives Outdoor Centre
BRJ are delighted to host a celebration of everything running to celebrate the relaxation of restrictions to our sports over the last year. The Festival of Running is free to enter.
Saturday 27th June
On Saturday we welcome club members and everyone from the local community to have fun, get active, get advice, and be inspired. This is a day for the whole family with a host of fun running games and challenges. A range of stalls and workshops will give lots of information and advice on how to get the most out of running, from Couch to 5K, to how to get faster, go further and avoid injury. Find out how to find running buddies in the local clubs and groups who will keep you going and keep you active. Discover more of how running can bring a sense of wellbeing, aiding your physical and mental health.
Not sure if running is for you? Come and chat to our coaches and leaders about how to make those first steps out of the door in your trainers. Want advice about what you could do to improve your running or avoid injury? There is help on hand at the festival. Do you have a goal in mind, a distance, or a race? Let us help with a training plan to get you there.
This is a festival of fun for all the family. There are lots of running games for children of all ages.
You will find us on the field at Hinchingbrooke Country Park and in the Countryside Centre. Everyone is welcome to join any activity. Just the workshops need pre-booking in order to comply with COVID rules.
