WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE WARRINGTON RUNNING FESTIVAL 2023 WILL BE A PART OF THE RUNTHROUGH FOUNDATION’S FREE EVENT INITIATIVE.
100% OF RACE PLACES ARE 100% FREE TO ENTER. ENTRY WILL BE BALLOTED DUE TO EXPECTED HIGH DEMAND
The race will be part funded by RunThrough Events (GW Active) in partnership with LetsDoThis. In addition, we welcome any donations to be made of any amount or the opportunity for further partners to get on board. We also invite people to run for the RunThrough foundation and raise money. Any surplus money raised for the event will go into bringing the same initiative to another town in an effort to spread the joys of running across the UK!
Hometown of RunThrough events co-founder Ben Green, the Warrington Running Festival is an opportunity to give back to the town that has supported his lifelong running journey. In partnership with the Warrington Borough Council, the RunThrough Foundation team aims to transform the community’s approach to active and healthy living by providing access to all.
ABOUT THE RUNTHROUGH FOUNDATION
The RunThrough Foundation are working to build an active and healthy nation, inspired to create stronger community connections by running together.
Running is the most easily accessible sport, with little to no barrier to entry and countless mental and physical benefits that everyone should experience.
By opening the door on mass participation running events for those who wouldn’t otherwise experience one we are binning the excuses and sharing the magic of running with the nation.
THE RUNTHROUGH FOUNDATION MISSION
The RunThrough foundation mission is to empower people from low-income areas across the UK to transform their lives and mental wellbeing through equal access to running events, training programmes and workshops.
Anyone put on some trainers and step outside the door to go for a run but roughly only 10% of the UK population participate in running. That means there are millions of people yet to experience not only the mental and physical benefits of running events but the powerful social aspects too.
INCLUSIVITY
We support and provide opportunities to individuals from all backgrounds by enabling every member of the community to get involved in exceptional running events.
COLLABORATION
We work with communities, businesses, and local governments to address barriers to physical activity faced by individuals. Together we create long-lasting and sustainable positive impacts.
Entry Process
EXCELLENCE
We are committed to delivering well-organised, quality running events that improve the mental and physical health of local community members. Our support continues well-beyond the end of each race.
