Run, walk or crawl around Boggart Hole Clough in this year's FC Minithon



Check out your walking boots or running shoes and fancy hats. Prepare to have healthy fun whilst raising funds for developing our ground. This season’s sponsored 5k Run, Walk or Crawl Minithon will again take place from 12 noon on Sunday 18 October 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.

This year’s new fundraising partner will be our closest neighbours at St Mary’s Primary School. The event will not only help us and our neighbours to get to know each other.
Situated in one of the city’s most deprived communities, the school is not given budget for improving playground facilities but wants our help to secure additional equipment to encourage local children to enjoy healthy physical activity.

Their children and our supporters’ children will be able to join in a special Boggart Hunt and win prizes, searching for the mysterious boggart creatures that inhabit the ancient woodlands.

At the after-run social at our ground in Broadhurst Park, prizes will also be awarded for fancy dress, first home etc to individuals and FCUM branches.

So get registered now at http://fcumshop.co.uk/minithon.php and if you want to raise funds you can set up an online fundraising page at http://www.localgiving.com/fundraisers and then specify FC United as the organisation you want to fundraise for.
