FC Minithon Will Run, Walk or Crawl Around Boggart Hole Clough

FC Minithon Will Run, Walk or Crawl Around Boggart Hole CloughCheck out your walking boots or running shoes and Google maps. Prepare to have healthy fun whilst raising funds for the club. This season’s sponsored 5k Run, Walk or Crawl Minithon will take place from 12 noon on Sunday, October 19th in the beautiful leafy setting of Boggart Hole Clough, just over a mile away from our new ground. The event will begin and end with a circuit of the athletics’ track, enabling young and old to have their special “Chariots of Fire??? moment.

Once again, the club’s partner charity will be north Manchester-based ACE Centre, which provides training and support to enable people with acute communication problems to have a voice. ACE’s work has grown and developed rapidly over the last few years. So why not invite ACE service users and staff to visit your local supporters’ branch to learn how young people are being given a voice? Contact Helen Lerwill here.

Prizes will be awarded for fancy dress, first home etc to individuals and branches. There will be a special Boggart Hunt, searching for the mysterious boggart creatures that inhabit the ancient woodlands.

The after-run social and prize-giving will be lakeside in the FC supporter-run café.

Volunteering Opportunity: If you want to assist in developing the new event, lend a hand on the day, please contact Phil Frampton here as soon as possible.

Details on how to register will be announced shortly.
