Design a blade competition

We’re inviting children to take part in our design competition. It’s a fun and inclusive way to get involved in the Run with Rich Weekend, and celebrate creativity and sport.

Paralympian and Richard Whitehead Foundation President Richard Whitehead will be wearing the specially designed running blades at both of our upcoming events:
Run With Rich on Saturday 27 September and the Robin Hood Half Marathon on Sunday 28 September, and your child could design them!

A great creative project for the summer holidays.

Design Richard Whitehead’s Running Blades!

*Please note, the design template will appear in your downloads folder

How to take part

  • Download and print the blade template from our website

  • Create a colourful design directly onto the template

  • Take a photo or scan of the finished design

  • Email it to us at info@whitehead.foundation with your name and contact number by Friday 22 August

What happens next

Richard will select his favourite design. It will be printed and added to his blades for him to wear during both events.

The designer of the chosen entry will also be invited to meet Richard in person at Run With Rich on 27 September.

We’re really looking forward to seeing your amazing entries.

Good luck and have fun!
