IUAD Corporate 5k Run 2022
London, Greater London
Victoria Park, Grove Road, London, UKThu 23rd June 2022
Starting at 18:45
Organiser's Description
The Insurance United Against Dementia Corporate 5k Run is In support of Alzheimer’s Society who focus on helping change the lives of people affected by dementia.
Just by taking part you will help this cause.
As well as helping to change the lives of people affected by dementia, there are some great benefits to taking on the IUAD 5K. Unite with us and we will support you through every step of your journey.
The best way to take part is get a team together and fundraise as a group. For example, 5 of you can take on the 5k together and each commit to asking a handful of people to donate £10 to get you to the £75 target. We'll be able to time you and let you know who in your team was the fastest if you'd like to build up the element of competition!
What's Included
A support pack with fundraising help and materials
Training guides for different abilities and personalised support
Support from the IUAD team to help you smash your fundraising target
A t-shirt to run in
A medal post run
The run itself is fully chip timed, you will receive individual placings plus there will be team results. Competitive or not competitive, you decide but either way it's about getting involved, running with colleagues and being part of a superb corporate run supporting a great cause.
How to Get There
There is no car parking in Victoria Park so if driving please plan ahead where you will park.
