Run with Rich

What is Run with Rich?

Run with Rich is our annual fundraising event, founded in 2022, designed to unite communities and promote inclusivity through sport. Led by Paralympic Champion Richard Whitehead MBE, the event encourage individuals to ‘take part in their own way’, whether that is by running, walking, rolling, or cheering from the sidelines. The Inclusive route is designed for all abilities, ensuring everyone can participate and feel part of something special.

Each year, participants help us make a lasting impact by raising vital funds to support individuals with disabilities, enabling them to disabled people’s ambitions through sport.
