The Lions and all our helpers give our time freely, but the costs of organising the Fun Run increase every year. Our aim is that sponsorship, in kind or otherwise, and programme advertising, will cover all the costs of staging the Fun Run, enabling us to assure runners that every pound of entry fee and sponsorship they raise will go to the nominated charities.
Around Easter each year we deliver 6,500 copies of the Fun Run programme free of charge to homes throughout Knowle & Dorridge. Advertising rates start from as little as £70. Copy is required by the end of January. Interested?
We thank our sponsors for so generously supporting our community event and helping us ensure that the all costs of staging the Fun Run are covered:
