Families Together Ipswich Half Marathon
Families Together
Ipswich Half Marathon – Sunday 17th September
This will be our biggest event yet, and we are really excited about it! The Half Marathon is organised by the Run For All charity, who arrange marathons and half marathons around the country. We are delighted to be included as a charity partner for the first time, and there are various ways that you can get involved:
Run/jog/walk for us: As a charity partner we can enter 10 (or more) runners. If you would like to run for us, we will provide you with a free place – all we ask is that you raise a minimum of £200 in sponsorship. We will send you a link to sign up to run for us, a link to set up a Just Giving page, and a dedicated private Facebook page for Families Together runners, so that you can share training tips and maybe find a training buddy local to you. If you think you may be interested, please click on this link and complete your details to express an interest. We will then send you further details.
Race Marshalls: Each charity partner is asked to provide 10 Race Marshalls for a section of the course from 7.30am to 1pm. The marshalls will be given full details of how to guide runners along the set route, ensuring their safety, and will register directly with Run For All (we will provide you with the sign-up link) and you will also receive information and guidance direct from them, as well as support from us. It’s a great way to really get involved in the day, and you will be allocated spots near to our Cheer Station (see below). We already have our first Race Marshall signed up, come and join the team.
Cheer Station: Anyone who wishes to support our runners is welcome – we will be allocated a cheer station where we will have our Families Together gazebo, so our runners can easily recognise us, and we can cheer, shout, clap, make loads of noise and generally encourage the runners to just keep on running! By all accounts, there will be a fantastic atmosphere!
