Run With The Lions

Completely customisable! Flat, hilly, muddy, scenic, or “I got lost but it still counts”.

Whether it’s a sunrise jog, a lunchtime dash, an evening trail run or a treadmill.

Your run, your rules.

When you join the Swindon Lions Virtual 5K, you’re not just entering an event — you’re becoming a founding Pioneer of a brand-new annual challenge created to support charities across the local community.

Every participant receives a finisher’s medal, delivered straight to their door as a thank-you for taking part and helping us launch this first-ever event. It’s a simple, classic medal — a symbol of your commitment, your achievement, and your role in helping us build something meaningful for the future.

Because this is our inaugural year, we’re keeping things straightforward so we can focus on delivering a smooth, inclusive experience for everyone. As a Pioneer, you’ll be part of shaping what this event grows into — including plans for custom medals and expanded packages in future years if this pilot proves successful.

You can expect:
* Freedom to complete the 5K your way — anytime in 2026, at your own pace
* A finisher medal
* The satisfaction of knowing that all net proceeds support Swindon Lions (Charity 1198482) and the local causes we serve.

Simple. Meaningful. Impactful.

And you’ll forever be one of the very first to take part :-)
