Claverdon Fun Run 2025 - exciting updates!

We're thrilled to share some fantastic updates about the Claverdon Fun Run 2025 - the excitement is building and we can't wait for the big day!

Say cheese! Professional photographers confirmed

We have some brilliant news - we now have TWO professional photographers who are parents at the school and have very kindly volunteered their services for the day! They'll be capturing all the action at the finish line and around the course, so you can focus on enjoying your run while they make sure we get those perfect shots of your achievements.

A huge thank you to these amazing parent volunteers - their generosity means we'll have professional quality photos to remember this special community event.

Amazing new event sponsors - please check them out!

We're absolutely delighted to announce that we have some fantastic new event sponsors who have joined our growing list of supporters. Please do take some time to have a look at all the event sponsors now listed on our website.

We really cannot emphasize enough what a huge impact having event sponsors makes to this event. Their generous support makes it possible for us to make the Fun Run as smooth-running as possible, and crucially, it means we can get started now on making sure everything is ready for the big day. From the medals to the refreshments, from the course setup to all the little details that make the day special - our event sponsors make it all possible.

A really big thank you to all our event sponsors - your support means the world to us and directly benefits our school community.

Please do support our event sponsors and take a look at what they have to offer:

New runner sponsorship option - support your runner!

Following feedback from last year, we've introduced something that was requested by our community. We had lots of relatives and community supporters asking if there was a way they could support the event and sponsor their friends and family who were taking part. We've made that possible this year through our TotalGiving platform! This means you can:

• Sponsor your runner with a donation

• Add a personal message that goes on the sponsor form - this is where you can mention the name of your runner if you want to, or you can leave it anonymous

• Include a message for a shout out on the day - which will be announced over the loudspeaker near the finish line

• Help us claim Gift Aid on your donation, meaning even more funds raised for the school

  
  

It's a wonderful way to show extra support for your runner while contributing to our school fundraising efforts.

Book early - help us plan the perfect day!

Finally, we want to encourage everyone to book early. When we know how many people we have running, it's so much easier for us to make sure we've got enough bacon for the bacon rolls, plenty of squash and biscuits for all our thirsty runners at the end, and crucially - enough medals to make sure no one is left out! The medals are all assembled individually with ribbons and stamped with the date on the back, so we need plenty of time to prepare them all.

We'd also be really grateful if you could get your t-shirt orders in quickly now, as we need to order them in good time before the event. We've already had plenty of t-shirts ordered, which is fantastic, but we want to make sure we've got enough for everybody who wants one. If you've already booked your place but would like to buy a t-shirt you can do so here.

The community spirit around this event continues to amaze us, and we're so grateful for everyone's support. Whether you're running, volunteering, sponsoring, or cheering from the sidelines - you're all helping to make the Claverdon Fun Run 2025 something truly special.
