Charity Fun Run in Lydiard Park

Sun, Oct 23rd 2016 at 7:00 am - 5:00 pm

The Charity Fun Run and the Monster March helps us to raise funds for 'Brighter Futures' - the GWH Radiotherapy Unit Appeal.


Fun Run & Monster March

Miss Wiltshire, Georgia Holmes, was our official starter of the 3rd Lydiard Rotary Fun Run and Monster March on 23rd October 2016 which raised money for Brighter Futures, the Radiotherapy Appeal. 
This was a joint effort by the two RWB Rotary Clubs supported by Swindon Phoenix Rotary Club and RWB Probus Club.  With all that support, we were able to marshal the whole course and keep the runners on the right track throughout.  We also provided a warm up session and 'Bob's Burger Bar' to motivate the starters and restore the finishers.  Nearly 200 runners and walkers raised around £2,000 for Brighter Futures.
