Thrussington Fun Run is back again on Saturday 1st March 2025!
Last year saw over 300 runners enter Thrussington Fun Run. This years’ races will take place on Saturday 1st March. The fields we use lend themselves so brilliantly to a fun run – different challenging stream crossings, undulating terrain and some straw bales make it an exciting run for those of all ages and abilities and one on the calendar each year for many – our thanks to the Rudkin family and their sheep for allowing us to use it!
The fun run was set up to encourage people to take up running so we try to keep entry fees low. To do this we ask for sponsorship from local companies to cover our total costs of around £1k. This also means any profits go to our worthy causes. If you’d like to sponsor the event please get in touch. In return, we’ll promote your company on the fun run website page, at the event and in our post race articles.
Proceeds of the event are split between the school; providing extra curricular activities and supporting the education of the children, and the church, where £50k, part of £140k bill is needed most urgently to prevent the tower from collapse and the church from being condemned.
On this note a shameless plug for the church’s most recent fund raising initiative- an amusing rhyming book – The Tale of the Tumbling Tower of Little Thrussington. The story follows church mouse, Fred and his estate agent, Barry as they visit properties in the village trying to find Fred somewhere new to live because his church is falling down, they also take part in the fun run!
All profits from the book goes to the tower fund. Get your copy – available at the Fun Run, Thrussington Stores at £7.50 or £10 inc p&p online at https://www.thrussingtonptfa.co.uk or using the QR code.
Don’t miss out on being part of the fun run action! It’s a brilliant community event, for ages from two to twilight. A great race with a fantastic atmosphere and warm drinks and hot food and cake for afters at the village hall. What’s not to love? More information about the race will be available on the website which opened on 11th January 2025 at https://www.thrussingtonptfa.co.uk
Entry fee £6 early bird, £8.50 after 14th February. Entries close midday 27th February.
We look forward to seeing you there!
