Story
The Michelmores 5k Charity Run is set to return on Thursday 7 September 2023 in the beautiful grounds of Powderham Castle, near Exeter. This iconic venue provides the perfect backdrop to come together with colleagues, family and friends in the great outdoors and raise money for our charity partner, FearFree, who are working to break the cycle of abuse across the South West.
Wellbeing, inclusivity and sustainability really matter to Michelmores, and form the foundations for this year's event. Those aged 14 years+ and of all fitness levels are invited to jog or run the route.
Many of our runners look forward to a competitive event and this year will be no exception. Expect some hotly contested awards! As well as recognising our fastest individuals and teams, there will be prizes for those who raise the most money for FearFree. Every pound counts - £30 could purchase a simple smartphone to enable a victim to make safe contact with the charity's services, and £100 could train a Volunteer Befriender who provides weekly mentoring support to people overcoming the trauma of abuse. Please raise as much as you can!
We will be encouraging green travel and all runners signing up will receive a race t-shirt, made from recycled materials, in their runners pack.
Gates will open at 16:30 and the run will start at 18:00.
