Cookridge Community Run 2024

Thanks to all our runners, volunteers, sponsors and partners that made the Cookridge Community Run another special event, where over 300 runners took part in aid of Cancer Research and local community initiatives.

This year your amazing efforts and donations helped us to raise over £10,500 and takes our total to £179,000.

Thank you to every single one of you, we hope to see you all again in 2025.

Call for support!

Please let us know if there is a local community appeal or charity that we might be able to support. We are looking for sport-based initiatives for young people in particular that may benefit from support from the Cookridge Community Run.

With best wishes from the Cookridge Community Run Committee and the family of Gareth Dunn

Now in its fifth year the Cookridge Community 10K promises to be another great run. A beautiful running route with over 400 runners taking part in support of Cancer Research and local community charity initiatives.
