September 2024

In September Falmouth Rotary Club staged their Run Mawnan charity event for the 11^th time in succession.  The ever-popular event with 10k and 5k races and a one mile children’s fun run was a great success, with over 230 runners taking part.  Cash sponsorship from Kimberley’s Estate Agents and Cornish Holiday Cottages and great prizes from Budock Vean Hotel and Hotel Meudon boosted the monies raised by the event and at the Rotary Club’s meeting on 28^th October Rod Allday, lead organiser of the event, presented to David Stewart, the club’s President, a cheque for £2500 to boost the club’s charity account.  Rod Allday said, “It’s always a pleasure to organise this event – it’s more than just a running event, it’s an opportunity for residents to join in the carnival atmosphere.  This year the event was greatly enhanced by the participation of Mawnan WI, who ran several stalls to raise money £500 for Dementia UK.”

On Sunday, October 1^st just over 250 competitors of all ages took part gathered at Carwinion Playing Field to take part in this year’s Run Mawnan event which also celebrated its tenth anniversary.

Rotarian Rod Allday, Chairman of the Run Mawnan committee, said: “Since we returned last year after an enforced Covid break of two years, it’s good to see the number of entrants getting back to pre-Covid levels.

"As always, we are extremely grateful to all the local businesses who have supported us by providing some great prizes, and to all the volunteers who marshal the course and help in the event field. 

"This is one of Falmouth Rotary club’s main fund-raising events of the year and we always aim to distribute half of the proceeds to village organisations.”
