Run with Rich - Your Way
Thank you for going the distance.
“It was incredible to see hundreds of people of all abilities and ages take part in our first mass participation event. I am so proud of everyone who ran, jogged, walked and pushed their way around the 5km and 1 mile courses. Please keep donating and help us smash our target for Run with Rich. Thank you! ”

“My heart is bursting with joy. I couldn’t believe how inspiring each and every person was. Such proof that disability doesn’t mean inability. Thank you to the Richard Whitehead Foundation for organising this event!”

I really enjoyed the 5km. I was trying not to go too quickly, so that I didn’t show Richard up! It was a fantastic event and everyone has done a great job. I enjoyed every minute - totally worth it!”
