This year’s Fun Run is being held at 11.00 am on Bank Holiday Monday 6th May 2024.   The event is open to everyone and involves running (or walking) as many laps as possible in one hour starting at 11.00 am around a measured 1-mile circuit centred on the Felixstowe Spa Pavilion.  All runners will receive an attractive colour commemorative certificate at the end of their run.  It is an opportunity for runners to seek sponsorships to raise money for their club, society or deserving cause of their choice.  Entry fees are £7 for adults and £5 for 16s and under. These fees go towards supporting local deserving causes as determined by the Rotary Club of Felixstowe.

 We encourage running groups, clubs and individuals to sign up early for what promises to be an enjoyable and exciting morning. We encourage those who are willing to run in Fancy Dress with cash prizes of £60, £45, £30 and £15 for the four most eye-catching entrants.  The prizes are sponsored by Rubys and the Mayor will be judging and awarding the prizes.

If you wish to enter a team, please email your request to funrun@felixstowerotaryclub.org or phone 07876 757268. You will be sent a team registration sheet (Excel file) and we can deliver an agreed number of sponsorship cards to you.  The Excel file explains all you need to know about registering and paying for the entrants.
