Join in with STRIDE

We would love our friends, partners and neighbours to join us to STRIDE FOR THE SETTLEMENT 💜

A sponsored 5K or 10K run or walk around Edgbaston Reservoir in support of Birmingham Settlement

You will be helping to raise money towards our Green Barn activity space, a new indoor, eco-friendly building at the Nature & Wellbeing Centre. 🏗️

The Green Barn will enable more people to benefit from the site, provide a much-needed shelter so activities can go ahead in bad and extreme weather, and provide an event and activity space for the community. 👏

Following your journey around the Reservoir, join us for a Family Fun Day to celebrate your achievement! 💜

There is no minimum amount to fundraise - we appreciate the support of all.

Sign ups are now open via EventBrite - click here! https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/stride-for-the-settlement-tickets-1991763786101?aff=oddtdtcreator

📆 Saturday 12th September, from 1pm
📍Birmingham Settlement Nature & Wellbeing Centre, Edgbaston Reservoir, 79 Selwyn Road, B16 0SL

Our warm up, briefing and announcements start at 09:20am.

Don't worry if you feel you're not a fully flying runner, you can attempt interval running with parts walked and others running. Don't forget, you need to build on your stamina so starting off running takes weeks to get up to a standard where you find a 2.5km or 5km manageable.
We have always a Run Leader/ Run Support volunteer who can assist with your run 🏃‍♀️ 😉 🏃‍♂️

Thank you for supporting us.

Why not leave your additional tops or jackets in the dome for your return and we will keep safe.
Valuables to be left with the Coordinator for safe keeping.
