Bromsgrove 10K and 5K

  • About

    The Bromsgrove 10k and 5k is a scenic run taking place in the lovely Worcestershire countryside, starting and finishing at the Bromsgrove Rugby Club in Finstall. Organised by our Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research Bromsgrove Branch for over 10 years, the event is hugely popular and attracts all abilities from seasoned club runners to frequent joggers, to those with little running experience who prefer to take a more leisurely stroll over the 5k route.  Whatever your ability, we'd love to see you at the event!

    The Bromsgrove 10k and 5k had it's best year yet in 2011 with a record number of runners taking part and raising over an incredible £7,000!  We won't stop until we've beaten blood cancers so we're aiming for an even better year in 2012.  Join our team. Be unstoppable.

  • Details

    Whether you choose to do the 10k or the 5k route, our Bromsgrove Branch of volunteers, who organise this fantastic event, support all of our runners with a fundraising pack, race number and a t-shirt for those who raise money to help beat blood cancers. Plus there’s always a friendly person on the end of the phone to offer advice and encouragement through your training and fundraising.

    On the day, there'll be plenty going on for all the family and each finisher will receive a medal.  Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in the men's and women's categories, as well as for veteran's in each run, will be given after the run.  We thank Altered Images Fitness Club for generously providing the prizes.

    Times and positions for the 10k and 5k are published on the website a few days after the run so you can see how you did.

  • Raise money

    A great way to boost your fundraising if you're doing a sponsored event is to raise money online.

    Setting up an online giving page with JustGiving or Virgin Money Giving is a great way to raise money, enabling people to sponsor you really easily. All you need to do is visit the site, select Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research as your charity and then create your page. You can then personalise it with photos and messages and send the link to everyone you know.

    Use social networking websites

    A great way to increase awareness of your event is to add details to your social networking site; be it Facebook, Twitter or MySpace. It's even possible now to link these sites directly to your online giving page, making it even simpler for people to donate. Another way to inspire people, and raise awareness, is to blog about how your preparation is going. If people see the amount of time you're committing, and why you're doing your event, then they'll be more likely to dig deep!

    Email your family and friends

    Target your most generous supporters first. People tend to match the amounts already listed on the page.

    Be persistent

    Try re-sending the link to your page one week before the event to get some last minute sponsors. Then send it one more time once you've done the event - it's never too late!

    Raise money while you shop

    If you shop online, you can raise money for us simply by signing up with easyfundraising. Visit your favourite online retailers through this site and they will donate a percentage of your purchase to us at no extra cost to you!
